Child 9 months old

A child of 9 months is a kid who aspires to independence. He becomes a real fidget, regardless of what he does, crawls, moves around the perimeter of the bed, or plays. He needs to know everything, to study and taste. Emotions of a nine-month-old baby splash over the edge, if he laughs, then he infects with laughter all those around him, if he sobs, then as if an ecumenical misfortune has happened.

He violently protests against tasteless food for him, can close his mouth and even cover it with a pen, he knows how to use his charm, smile and awaits an adequate reaction from adults. In short, this is a real little man - a copy of his parents. It is during this period that the development of the child's social skills continues, he must learn to understand and accept restrictions and permits. Of course, total control and protection of the child from domestic minor dangers will not lead to a positive result - the child can grow weak-willed and fearful. However, permissiveness is inadmissible. Parents need to learn to combine the severity, wisdom and understanding of the psychology of their growing baby. A child of 9 months is a real "traveler" who studies the territory either crawling or moving along the perimeter along the walls. Therefore, in order not to limit his curiosity and activity, you need to remove possible obstacles, soften the corners with the help of pillows, all sharp, pricking or dangerous for digestion items to hide away, preferably on the upper shelves. The kid already understands that the mother does not disappear forever, when she leaves the room, that the food can be in the kitchen, and the toys in the drawer or the arena, and not just before his eyes. Despite the desire for independence and independence, the child reacts sharply even to a minute separation from the mother, more wary of strangers, strangers. At the age of nine months, a child of 9 months can independently abandon the mother's milk or breast, from the nipple. It is not worth worrying about this, it is normal, however, if it is possible to breast-feed, it is worth continuing breastfeeding for at least two to three months. At nine months, the baby, as a rule, already has the first two teeth, often children at this age show and four milk teeth.

Child 9 months - growth rates, weights, possible deviations from the norm

A nine-month-old child adds about 450-500 grams of weight and 1-1.5 centimeters in height. These indicators may be less or more, it all depends on the previous dynamics of the increase in parameters. With each month, approaching one-year age, the rate of growth slows down. By nine months, the baby should weigh about 8-9 kilograms. The indicator of 10 kilograms and above can serve as a sign of paratrophy, excess weight. Affection of plump and well-fed babies by relatives should not counterbalance the risk of metabolic disorders and in the future the risk of endocrine pathologies. If excess weight is not evidence of persistent and persistent feeding of a child, it is possible that its causes are the following factors: 

• Frequent respiratory problems, colds. 
• Intestinal infections. 
• Viral diseases. 
• Violation of defecation, constipation.

With any deviations from the norms of weight at the age of nine months, it is necessary, together with the pediatrician, to revise the menu and diet of the child. Perhaps you should replace too high-calorie foods for more dietary foods or change the amount of servings.

As a rule, lead to paratrophy leads to excessive enthusiasm for mothers in the sense of feeding kids with kissels, semolina porridge, sweet saturated juices.

Child 9 months - movement and communication

The kid is an active researcher of the territory, he enthusiastically tries to open all the doors of cabinets and bedside tables, which, by the way, should not just be tightly closed, but literally "sealed" in any way to neutralize possible risks and problems in the form of torn documents or photographs. The child enjoys playing with hide and seek with his mom or dad, shows pens how big he is, enthusiastically examines bright pictures in books, listens carefully to stories and fairy tales. The kid is able to sit down on his own, lie down, get up with the help of hands and move around, holding on to walls or objects. The striking desire to master the erection is surprising, the child of 9 months falls countless times and still gets up and continues to try to walk. Such a desire should be encouraged by parents, because it is an indicator of endurance, purposefulness and perseverance. If you stop the baby's attempts to achieve the goal, perhaps in adulthood, he will pass before the first difficulties and hide from them. The child's vocabulary also expands daily. In addition to syllables, he is able to speak meaningful words, most often it is "mom", "give", "am." Many things the child calls his own way, in his own language. Also the kid with pleasure responds to pronouncing the endings of rhymes, nursery rhymes. Engage the child's speech every day, the more often it happens, the better and better the development of his intellect. The child can understand the words "hello", "goodbye", responds to them with movements and facial expressions. Famous children's "ladushki" can be long gone or otherwise not mastered. It is not worth worrying about this, the main thing is that the baby can get together the handles and rear them back, imitating the claps. All "Magpie-crows", as well as ladushki - is a tribute to tradition, nothing more. Develop hand and finger movements can be any other game way.
