Eating skills

She  will start to develop the skills she needs to eat finger foods. She'll probably start trying to pick up objects with her thumb and forefinger. This is called the pincer grasp.
Will also continue to put everything she can into her mouth. This is another sign that she's ready to try new things to eat.
She may also grab at the spoon you're using to feed her. This can make feeding her a little more tricky. Try giving her a spoon to hold for herself, while you feed her with another.
She'll be starting to mimic chewing patterns now, moving her jaw from side to side. She doesn't have enough teeth to chew yet, but it's important she gets used to chewing and swallowing lumpier foods.
 I offer  her mashed foods and soft finger foods as well as purées. Finger foods can be sticks of well-cooked carrot, chunks of banana, or unsalted  breadsticks, and mini rice cakes. These will help your baby get used to feeding herself.

Pulling up


Hello,
Many babies are pulling themselves up now, grabbing on to any available piece of furniture and then standing while holding onto it in a wobbly way. Some babies walk as early as eight months, others not until well into their second year. All are still well within the normal range. Most babies work out how to stand up fairly easily on their own.
The thing that stumps many of them is sitting back down again! When your little one pulls himself to a stand and then cries for you to sit him back down, don't rush to pick him up. Instead, show him how to bend his knees so his journey back down doesn't end with such a thud.

Spoon Feed





Hello,
Any day now, if she hasn't already, your baby may try feeding herself. She may let you know about her new goal by grabbing a spoon and, eventually, guiding it into her mouth. If you can, let her experiment and forgive the mess - it's helping her learn a new skill. You'll have to be patient too, since she won't fully master the trick of feeding herself till after her first birthday.
