Growth

  • Do you still remember when your newborn would stay in the same spot you place him on? Those days are over. Your 8-month-old baby is much stronger and more coordinated: he may be able to pull himself up and stand while holding on to something. As he gains even more strength, expect him to start crawling soon enough, and get around your home.

  • If your baby’s first tooth hasn’t emerged yet, now may be the time - it usually comes out during the first 5 to 7 or 8 months. While baby teeth sometimes appear with no discomfort, you should watch out for the following signs:

    • More drooling than usual.

    • Red gums (the sore area is where the tooth will emerge).

    • Mild temperature.

    • Frequently biting and chewing.

    • One of his cheeks is flushed.

    • He’s fussier than usual.

Development

  • Your 8-month-old baby is becoming more skilled in using his fingers. Around this time, he should be able to hold things in a fist, or pick up items with his thumb, index finger, and middle finger.

  • Your little one is starting to develop his empathy as well. You might notice this as he may mimic the emotions from other children (e.g. crying, laughing).

Some tips

  • While your baby can now eat some solids like strained or pureed vegetables and fruits, take note that he’s still not ready for dairy-based foods until he turns a year old.

  • Never leave your little boy alone during solids feeding time because he may choke on his food.
