My 8-9 month old baby can't sit up
Do not eat with your hands
How to eliminate individual differences in night crying recurrence
"Is it possible that my child is the only one who can't sit?"
"My child never eats with his hands, does this mean there's a developmental problem?"
"The night crying has finally calmed down and started again. How long will it last?"
While harboring such anxiety that "my child is the only one who can't do it,"
To the moms who work hard every day.
The period from 8 to 9 months of age is when individual differences are most apparent.
Did you know that it's actually normal for things not to go according to the parenting books ?
He collapses after 3 seconds of sitting down, eats with his hands, and just pokes with his fingers.
Night crying stopped at 7 months, but started again at 8 months...
Each of these has its own unique reason for growth .
The experts who have looked after over 3,000 babies
I declare:
"There is no 'right answer' in development.
By knowing how much individual variation is acceptable,
Mommy's anxiety turns into relief."
In this guide,
・Why it's better not to practice sitting
・How to deal with children who don't like eating with their hands
・How to overcome the recurrence of night crying
・Criteria for determining concerns about developmental delay
All of this while supporting your efforts.
We will keep you updated.
By the time you finish reading, you will surely
"I see, that's just like her."
You'll want to hug your child.
Should I be concerned if my 8-9 month old baby collapses after 3 seconds of sitting?
The personality of the standing-first type and why it's best not to practice sitting
"I can sit with support, but I can't sit alone..."
"If you let go, it will fall over in three seconds."
There is one thing I would like mothers with such concerns to know first.
It is normal for a baby to be able to sit up between 6 and 10 months, with a range of 4 months .
Even more surprising is that
The developmental order is "standing first, then sitting"
It is found in approximately 30% of babies.
You may be worried that the order of development is reversed.
This is one of the personality types called "vertical developmental dominance."
Why does this happen?
In fact, standing up by holding on to something is "using gravity from above down,"
Unstable sitting posture is caused by "muscle control from bottom to top"
Because it requires completely different skills.
Babies who stand up first by holding on to something
Research has also shown that children tend to start walking earlier in life.
Why you shouldn't practice sitting
Many experts say that sitting practice is not necessary.
Overtraining can lead to imbalances in muscle development.
Especially in babies with hypotonia (benign),
Forcing them to sit will prevent their core from developing properly.
What you need to worry about is
・Even after 10 months, he still can't sit up
・Extremely flexible when supporting the body
Other developmental delays are also noticeable
If these do not apply,
At this child's pace
Please watch over them warmly.
Is it okay for an 11-month-old baby who doesn't eat with his hands at all?
How to deal with children who only poke with their fingers and don't like getting their hands dirty
"Even though he's 11 months old, he still doesn't eat with his hands..."
"I'm worried because my child won't even put toys in his mouth."
There are actually a lot of moms who have this problem.
The most common reasons for not eating with your hands are:
"Sensory hypersensitivity that makes you dislike getting your hands dirty."
[The psychology of children who only poke with their fingers]
"I want to touch it, but I don't like it being sticky."
This is the baby's true feelings.
The act of poking with your finger is actually
It's proof that they have an interest in food .
[Characteristics of children who don't put toys in their mouths]
Sensitive and cautious personality
-Prefers to gather information visually
・Tendency to have fewer likes and dislikes in the future
These are by no means "developmental delays."
How to deal with children who don't like to eat with their hands
◆ Phased approach
1. Starting with dry ingredients (bread, rice crackers)
2. Warm food (boiled carrot sticks)
3. Something with a little moisture (banana)
◆ Environmental improvements
-Hand towels always available
・Clothes that you don't mind getting dirty
・Encourage them to "It's okay to get dirty"
◆ If you are interested in spoons
Skip the hand grab
Some children start with a spoon.
This is also a great way to practice eating on your own.
The period when your baby just touches the baby food but doesn't eat it
Many moms experience the "touch-only phase."
This is the "food research period."
Check the hardness
・Feel the temperature
・Safety check
The more cautious the child, the longer this period will be.
What's important is not "eating well"
"Fostering an interest in food."
Don't rush, go at the child's pace
Please watch over them warmly.
Night crying returns: "It calmed down at 7 months, but started again at 8 months"
The mechanism of sleep regression and how to determine the best time to wean your baby at night
"My baby stopped crying at 7 months, but started crying again at 8 months..."
"The night crying has started again. How long will it continue?"
The resurgence of night crying at this time
This is a normal developmental phenomenon called "sleep regression."
Why does night crying return?
The period from 8 to 9 months of age is the "second sleep regression period."
Rapid brain development leads to major changes in sleep patterns.
[Three factors that cause sleep regression]
1. Development of memory processing function
→Dreams organize daytime experiences, leading to increased shallow sleep
2. Brain stimulation from learning new skills
→Crawling and standing up helps keep the brain awake
3. The onset of separation anxiety
→ Checking behavior in the middle of the night as evidence of a deepening attachment to mom
How to overcome the recurrence of night crying
◆ Reconstructing daily routines
・Make sure to wake up at 6:30am
- Naps end by 2 p.m.
・Moderate fatigue after an evening walk
◆ Optimizing the sleep environment
・Room temperature 22-24 degrees, humidity 50-60%
・Dim space with indirect lighting
・Use white noise
◆ Determining the right time to wean your baby at night
It's time to consider it if you have the following:
✓ Eating solid baby food three times a day
✓ Weight gain is steady
✓ Nighttime feeding becomes a habit (2 or more times)
✓ Feeling the limits of mom's physical strength
Criteria for deciding when to stop breastfeeding
- Unable to fall asleep without breastfeeding
Breastfeeding three or more times during the night
・You can't sleep for three hours straight until the morning for more than four days a week.
If these apply to you,
Now is the time to consider night weaning.
However, as long as it doesn't cause pain to the mother
Another option is to wait for the child to graduate naturally.
The important thing is that the whole family can spend time together with a smile .
The resumption of night crying will not last forever.
"Maybe this is the last night," I thought.
Make sure you cherish your nighttime time with your baby.
When should you start and stop throwing baby food and playing with it?
The growth rate of small children who are troubled by irregular eating habits and stagnant weight
"He started throwing his baby food and won't eat it at all..."
"How long will play-eating continue?"
Play eating begins around 9 months of age.
This is actually "exploratory behavior resulting from brain development."
The true meaning of playful eating
Throwing is a great experiment for babies.
"What happens if I throw it?"
- "What happens if you crush it?"
How will Mom react?
All of these are "learned behaviors."
[When does play eating begin and end?]
Start: 8-9 months of age (at the same time as starting to eat with hands)
Peak: 10-12 months
Calmness: 1 year 6 months to 2 years old
Addressing weight stagnation in small children
"Is 7kg 8 months okay?"
Many mothers have this concern,
The important thing is to stay within the growth curve .
[How to identify worrying weight stagnation]
✓ Weight loss for more than 2 weeks
✓ Far outside the growth curve
✓ Visibly depressed or in a bad mood
✓ Does not accept baby food at all
If these do not apply,
Let's watch and see how the child develops at their own pace .
Tips for improving irregular eating habits
◆ Environmental adjustment
- Meal times should be limited to 20-30 minutes
Put away the TV and toys
・Eat with your family
◆ Menu Ideas
Mix things you like with things you don't like
・Accumulate small successes
・Exaggerated praise such as "I ate it!"
◆ How to maintain your mindset
・Think in terms of 3 days to 1 week
Don't aim to finish the meal
・Prioritize a pleasant dining atmosphere
Playful eating and weight stagnation
The end will surely come.
Now, "Eating is fun"
This is an important time to teach.
Don't get too caught up in the numbers,
Please think of your baby's smile first.
My child won't crawl, and I'm worried, "Is this just my child?"
Criteria for Shuffling Baby's Personality and Developmental Consultation
"My child is 10 months old and still not crawling..."
"I move using my hips, is this okay?"
Seeing a baby who doesn't crawl,
You may be worried, "Is my child the only one who is behind?"
In fact, babies who don't crawl
It accounts for about 15-20% of the total .
Many of them are called "shuffling babies."
These children choose a unique way of moving around by sitting down.
[Features of Shuffling Baby]
・They are good at sitting but dislike lying face down
・Move skillfully using their hips
- Better sense of balance than strength of limbs
- Careful and observant personality
This is not a developmental delay
It's "each child's own efficient way of moving."
What are the future implications for children who don't crawl?
"If you don't crawl, your core will become weak."
I hear this concern a lot, but research shows that
- Almost no difference in the time it takes to start walking
-No effect on final motor development
- Tends to be less likely to fall
Shuffling Baby is
Instead of crawling, improve balance in a sitting position
They are training hard.
Criteria for developmental counseling
Consult a professional if:
✓ No means of transportation even after 12 months
✓ Sitting is unstable and cannot be done for long periods of time
✓ Extremely floppy muscles
✓ General delays in other areas of development
If these do not apply,
As a "unique personality"
Please watch over us with dignity.
Creating an environment that encourages motor development
Spend more time on the floor
Place the toy a little distance away
・Fostering a desire to move
・Do not force the child to spend time lying face down
The important thing is to respect the child's pace.
Rather than being "the same as everyone else"
"Growth that is unique to each child"
Please support them.
Shyness and chasing peak: "How much does it vary from person to person?"
How to understand evidence of attachment formation and ease parenting anxiety
"I'm extremely shy, so I can't leave anyone with me..."
"My cat is so bad I can't even go to the toilet"
At 8 and 9 months old, shyness and following are at their peak.
Many moms end up exhausted,
This is actually evidence of healthy attachment formation .
The true meaning of shyness and following others
At this age, babies
"The distinction between mom and other people"
It's now clearly possible.
In other words, shyness and following others
It is a sign of deep love and trust for the mother .
[How much individual variation is normal?]
Shyness can vary greatly:
・Children who are not shy at all: 10%
Mild shyness: 30%
Moderate shyness: 40%
・Severe shyness: 20%
All patterns are normal
It depends on the baby's temperament.
Characteristics of extremely shy children and how to deal with them
◆ Cautious type
Be wary of new environments

Highly responsive to stimuli
Rich emotional expression
Create a quiet and calm environment,
Give yourself time to gradually get used to it
How to get through the tough times

◆ How to maintain your mindset
・Think of it as "proof that you are loved"
Remember that this is a temporary phenomenon
・Don't aim for perfection, 60 points is enough
How to interact with children to promote social development
Even shy children can develop social skills:
・Seeing mom talking happily with other people
・Positive words such as "You're so kind, Mr./Ms. XX"
・Don't force your baby, respect his/her pace
Shyness and following others
By the time they are about 18 months old, they will naturally calm down.
Now the baby is looking after the mother
"The most important person in the world"
It's a special time when they are thinking of you.
It's a difficult but precious time
Please accept it.
A small child who is off the growth curve: "Is 7kg 8 months old okay?"
How to identify stagnant weight gain and consultation guidelines for concerns about developmental delays
"Only 7kg at 8 months...is that too small?"
"We've fallen off the growth curve."
I'm worried about my child's weight
There must be many moms who weigh themselves every day.
But actually, if you are "within the 3rd-97th percentile of the growth curve ,"
Did you know that it's normal no matter where you are?
[Growth patterns of small children]
・Both parents are small → Genetic factors
・Short gestational age → Catching up growth
Active and burns a lot of calories

Signs of teething and tips for adjusting feeding habits
"My baby is 10 months old and still hasn't grown a single tooth..."
"My baby stopped eating baby food because of his teething problems"
There are large individual differences in the way teeth grow.
This can be a source of worry for moms.
Should I be worried if my baby hasn't had teeth for 10 months?
In fact, the first tooth eruption occurs
Ages range from 4 months to 12 months.
・Early babies: 4-5 months

How to deal with the anxiety of not following the parenting books
How to distinguish between individuality and delays, and how to avoid suffering from comparisons
"Everyone else can do it, but my child just can't..."
"I'm worried because their development is completely different from what's in the parenting books."
All mothers have this "comparison anxiety."
But in fact, it's normal for things not to go according to the parenting books.
Did you know that?
How to distinguish between personality and delay
[This is a sign of "individuality"]
✓ Even if one area is slow, others are progressing smoothly
✓ Good mood and responsive
✓ Focus on what interests you
✓ Slow but steady growth
✓ Good attachment relationship with parents
[This is a sign that requires observation]
✓ Significant delays in all areas of development
✓ Few smiles, weak reactions
✓ There is very little that interests me
✓ Long-term stagnant growth
✓ Does not seek involvement from parents
How to avoid suffering from comparisons
◆ Understand that "development speed ≠ future ability"
A child who can sit up early does not necessarily have good motor skills.
Just because a child starts talking late does not necessarily mean they have poor language skills.
The rate of development and final ability
"It's completely different ."
◆ Realize that "everyone is different and everyone is good"
・Children who are not shy → Sociable personality
・Shy children → Careful and observant personality
・Active children → proactive personality
・Quiet child → Concentrated personality
Each characteristic is a part of the child's "wonderful personality."
How to deal with parenting books effectively
◆ Use parenting books only as a reference
-Use as a guideline (not an absolute standard)
・One of the factors to consider when you are worried
・To the extent that you need to know
◆ Emphasize on keeping a record of your child's growth
・What I can do better today than I did yesterday
・The child's own pace of growth
Small changes and progress
Magic words to lighten a mother's heart
Words to remember when you feel anxious:
"This child has his own pace."
"Thank you for being healthy today"
"Rather than perfect parenting, parenting with love"
"There is no happiness in comparison"
"Everyone is different, everyone is special"
Timing of expert consultation
Don't hesitate to contact us if:
・Mom's intuition tells her that something is wrong
-Significant delays in multiple developmental areas
Growth has stagnated for a long period of time
-Clear interference with daily life
On the other hand, delays in only one area
A good-humored "laid-back pace"
It's okay to just wait and see.
Lastly… a message to moms
You raise your child with lots of love every day.
Your baby will receive your love and affection
He is growing at his own pace.
"Things don't always go as planned in parenting books"
Because babies are "unique and special beings in the world."
When you feel anxious,
Remember this article.
Your hard work is
It's all about the happiness of your baby.
Your love is always reaching
There is a lovely reason for all the anxiety you may have about your 8- or 9-month-old child thinking, "My child is the only one who can't do this."
Cherish your child's unique personality, which may not follow the parenting books, as a special treasure that is unique to that child.
Instead of comparing, look at your child's small growth.
Please find it every day.
Thank you very much for your hard work today.
You are a great mom.
