8 Month Development/Shaken Baby Syndrome

At 8 months your little one will be sitting up on their own and moving around a lot. If your baby is crawling you want to make sure to keep sharp and small objects out of your baby's reach. Always keep an eye on your little one because they will move fast. There have been some reviews on walkers that they can be dangerous so always keep an eye on your little one if they are in their walker. At this age your little one probably also likes to touch and feel different objects, they will probably also be entertained in throwing their toy. It is important at this age to encourage your baby with toys that require them to sit up and crawl. If your little one isn't crawling yet you can encourage them by placing toys and objects that will entice them and slowly moving it away so baby can go after it. Your baby probably understands you and that's why it is important to give them lots of hugs and kisses you also want to be firm if your little one does something bad. This does not mean spanking but showing disapproval by a firm face, saying no, taking their toy away.
