What You Can Expect
From 7 To 9-Months-Old Babies, Toddlers, Kids &
Childrens

months old. Time goes by so fast that you don't realize

support or even her own hands. Wow, that must be an
incredible feeling seeing her grow so instantly.
For parents of 7 to 9-months-old Babies, Toddlers,
Kids & Childrens, what else
can you find in their physical growths? Well, every baby
is not the same. One may have earlier development from
the others.

Now that your
little angel has reached 7 months old. Time goes by so
fast that you don't realize your baby is now able to sit

instantly.
For parents of 7 to 9-months-old
Babies, Toddlers, Kids & Childrens, what else can you find in their physical
growths? Well, every baby is not the same. One may have
earlier development from the others.
For
example, your friend's baby was able to start crawling
when he was 8 months old, while yours could do it when
she was seven and a half months.
On the other
hand, the first baby started teething when he was 6
months old, whereas yours did it when she was 9 months.
So, you really need not to be anxious about your
baby's development. She will reach the stage.
What you need to pay attention to is your baby's
developmental milestone. This means she should be able
to do certain things at particular ages.
It's
best for you to make some notes on your baby's growth,
such as writing all her new skills in an online diary.
If you do not want to miss any of your baby's growths,
writing the journal will be very exciting.
Adding up cute photos when new things happen will also
be a wonderful endeavor. Later on, you'll thank yourself
for keeping the memories online as you can see it
anytime anywhere. Add up the joy by sharing the site to
friends and families.
Now let's go back to the
previous topic. If you're a first-time parent, you
probably still have a little idea about your baby's
development.
Below is a milestone you can use as
your guideline. If your baby isn't on her track or
doesn't reach many of the stages mentioned here, you may
consult it with your baby's pediatrician.
Here
are some of the milestones for 7 to 9-months-old baby:
1. Sitting upright without support
2.
Crawling
3. Teething
4. Babbling
5. Passing
things from hand to hand
6. Standing up by holding
onto something
7. Waving hands
8. Clapping hands
9. Turning heads when someone calls her
10.
Holding her bottles
11. Picking objects up with
pincer (thumb-finger) grasp
12. Testing your
responses to her behavior
13. Able to distinguish
people she knows and strangers
14. Cruising while
holding onto the wall or other furniture
The
older your baby, the more skills she may have. If your
baby is not able to do some of these things, don't worry
too much. It does not mean a problem. She'll reach the
phase in the perfect time, soon.
What To Do When
Your Baby Won’t Wear Clothes!
A lot of time and energy goes into clothing
your baby during the first year. From the color debate,
to the rapid speed at which most infants outgrow their
clothing, new parents have their plates full with
keeping their Babies, Toddlers, Kids & Childrens clean, comfortable and clothed. So
what do you do when all of a sudden, the baby doesn't
want to wear any clothes at all? How do you deal with

A lot of time and energy goes into clothing
your baby during the first year. From the color debate,
to the rapid speed at which most infants outgrow their
clothing, new parents have their plates full with
keeping their Babies, Toddlers, Kids & Childrens clean, comfortable and clothed. So
what do you do when all of a sudden, the baby doesn't
want to wear any clothes at all? How do you deal with
the exhibitionist stage of your toddler?
At about
fourteen months, your baby will most likely want to romp
around in the buff. This is completely normal, and in
fact could help a little bit with potty training.
Obviously, however, it can be a bit troublesome when
trying to introduce social norms, and of course when
having company without children over for coffee or
lunch. So how does a new parent deal with a naked
toddler?
The best thing to do is not discourage
this behavior entirely. Set limits about where and when
your toddler can be naked and enforce them. It is
tedious, but repeatedly re-dressing your toddler may be
the best way to get the message across. Keep an
especially close eye on your toddler in public. Not just
because of the obvious, but because you don't want to
lose expensive items like shoes or jackets.
Setting a "naked time" where your child is free to roam
around the house for an hour or so a day is a good way
to set limits on acceptable behavior. Make sure this
time is a time when you can be around to monitor them
very closely and make sure that they don't hurt their
more exposed areas. Also, it's probably best if naked
time is a time when your home doesn't see a lot of
traffic. Your toddler may be comfortable with their
naked time, but friends and neighbors may not be.
Use your child's newfound freedom to encourage them
to choose their own clothing. Let your toddler dress him
or herself a couple of times a week as a special treat.
Soon they might like to get dressed as much as they
enjoy disrobing. Make getting dressed fun, and stress
the importance of where and when it is okay to take off
your clothes. This way your child begins to understand
the important role that clothing plays in the day-to-day
life of grown ups.
The most important thing to
remember is not to let your discipline about clothing
become about your child's body. It is easy to make your
child feel ashamed of their naked body, even if it is
not intended. This kind of discomfort can go a long way
in determining how your child feels about their body in
the long term, right up into adulthood. Making play
dates for right before or after naked time can be a good
way to demonstrate for your child the difference between
private time and public time, and let them begin making
their own boundaries in their mind. This time in their
life is a lot about exploration. So even though you've
been there, it's important to let them figure out some
stuff on their own.

What To Buy For Baby
A growing
number of ingenious gift givers have discovered a
special kind of present for new Babies, Toddlers, Kids &
Childrens and their
families.
It's a contribution to help them
collect and store the newborn stem cells in their baby's
umbilical cord blood. Banked cord blood provides a
unique opportunity to protect that child or another
family member's future health. It's one of the most
valuable gifts anyone can give.
Doctors use the
newborn stem cells in cord blood to treat over 75
serious illnesses, such as leukemia, sickle-cell anemia,
and other serious blood and immune disorders. As medical
research evolves, so will stem cell therapies, with new
treatments expected for heart disease, diabetes, brain
damage, cerebral palsy, stroke, and other age-related
conditions, offering families more and more uses for
banked cord blood.
Currently, scientists believe,
stem cells similar to those found in cord blood can
develop into replacement cells for damaged organs.
Clinical trials recently revealed that stem cells can
heal heart tissue damaged after a heart attack or repair
damaged areas of the liver. Unlocking that amazing
potential could generate new therapies for diseases only
treated with traditional medical therapies in the past.
Newborn stem cells derived from cord blood are a
noncontroversial source of stem cells. They only come
from a live birth, have similar characteristics to
embryonic stem cells, and are currently emerging as a
viable research alternative to embryonic cells.
Newborn stem cells are easy to obtain and immediately
available if needed. They are unique because they do not
have to match the recipient as closely as bone marrow,
offer less chance of being rejected, and can be used by
siblings, the child's mother and other relatives, in
many circumstances where bone marrow cells cannot.
There is, however, only one opportunity with each
child to collect and store cord blood-right after birth.
The procedure is quick, easy, painless, and completely
safe for mother and baby.
Families that bank
cord blood have peace of mind knowing that related stem
cells are immediately available if ever needed. So when
you're considering what to get a loved one's latest
addition, you may care to think about giving a gift that
will last a lifetime.
