Type of Milestone: Physical
Practice with Baby: Play with your baby on the floor. Roll a ball to him. Every time he leans over to reach a toy, he strengthens his core muscles.
Mama Must-Know: Your little one might still topple over from time to time, but he will usually catch himself with his arms.

3/7/2012 04:31:53 AM Report AbuseMy 81/2 month old is crawling, has 8 teeth,says duck, dada, mama, loves to eat food, sits up, pulls himself up and cruises the table and foot board of my bed. all babies develop differently. My niece gad a baby only 5 days after me and her baby has no teeth and is not crawling or sitting without help. I'd say, allow lots of floor time and read, read, read. they love repetition. All the best to all of you.
9/18/2011 10:26:56 AM Report AbuseMy son just turned 9 months. In our case, we were limited to space in our apartment, so now we can have floor time with him. It's important for his mobility skills to practice sitting up on his own, on the floor, and also trying to crawl on the floor. You have to sit behind him (OR HER)so if they fall back or to the side you can catch them. Regarding the teeth, you have to give the baby teethers, often, so he can bite through and teeth come in that way...
