Parenting Tips for Your 9 Month Old Baby
When babies walk depends on (1) their weight, (2) whether they are aggressive, timid, or passive, and (3) their general rate of development (the speed at which the bones, muscles, and ligaments are growing). Most children go through the same stages but at different paces. Yours may be the first or the last on the block to do everything.
There’s really not much you can do to hurry or slow down your child’s growth. However, it’s a good idea to help your child exercise the large muscles freely. Help him kick, splash in the bath, wiggle his toes, stretch, and roll over. Give him lots of freedom to move about. Put a toy just out of his reach, and see if your baby scoots, stretches, rolls, or crawls to get it.
