At 9 months, your baby is on the move and full of curiosity!

Social: They may show stranger anxiety and love playing peek-a-boo.
Fine motor: Picking up small items with fingers (hello, pincer grasp!).
Gross motor: Crawling, pulling to stand, and maybe even cruising along furniture.

Support their growth with floor play, simple games, and offering safe finger foods to practice those fine motor skills.

How Do Babies Eat in the NICU?

Feeding in the NICU looks a little different—because every baby has unique needs based on their gestational age, medical condition, and ability to feed safely.

Here are three common ways NICU babies get the nutrition they need to grow and thrive: IV nutrition, nasogastric tubes and gastric tubes.

Swipe to see what these feeding tools look like and how they support your baby’s growth!

Your Baby at Six Months: Key Developmental Milestones

Halfway to their first birthday, your baby is learning and growing every day. Here’s what to look for in their development:

✨ Social Skills – Your baby is becoming more interactive, recognizing familiar faces, smiling at caregivers, and expressing emotions like joy or frustration.

✨ Fine Motor Skills – Watch as they grasp toys, pass objects between hands, and explore the world by reaching, grabbing, and mouthing everything in sight.

✨ Gross Motor Skills – Sitting with little or no support, rolling over both ways, and even starting to push up onto hands and knees.

✨ Reading & Talking – Your baby loves the sound of your voice. Reading books, singing songs, and having simple conversations all help build early language skills.

Every baby develops at their own pace, but engaging with them through play, conversation, and cuddles supports their growth!

✨ Four-Month-Old Milestones ✨

Your little one is growing and changing every day! At four months, you might notice these exciting developmental milestones:

Social Milestones: Smiling, laughing, and showing excitement when they see familiar faces. They’re starting to communicate more with coos and giggles.

Fine Motor Milestones: Holding objects in their hands, batting at toys, and beginning to bring hands to their mouth.

Gross Motor Milestones: Lifting their head and chest higher during tummy time and starting to roll over from tummy to back.

You can support their growth by offering tummy time daily, encouraging them to reach for toys, and creating plenty of opportunities to engage face-to-face.

At NEOwell, we’re here to guide you through every stage. Curious about how to best support your baby’s development? We’re just a text away!
