May is Maternal Mental Health Month—a reminder that how you’re feeling matters just as much as how your baby is doing. 1 in 5 new parents experiences a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (PMAD), and support is available. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.

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!

Having a grandchild in the NICU can be an emotional journey for everyone in the family, especially for grandparents who want to help but aren’t sure how. 💕

One of the most meaningful ways you can support your kids during this time is by gifting them NEOwell services. From NICU discharge prep to in-home newborn care and 24/7 text support, we provide the guidance and reassurance new parents need as they navigate life after the NICU.

Your gift can bring peace of mind, practical help, and a sense of calm during such a stressful time—because no family should feel like they’re doing this alone.

If you’re a grandparent or know one looking for a way to support a NICU family, we’re here to help.

✨ One-Month-Old Milestones: What to Expect! ✨

Your little one is officially one month old! At this stage, babies are learning and growing every day. Here’s what you might notice:

👶 Social Development:
• Starting to focus on faces and respond to your voice.
• May try to mimic facial expressions like sticking out their tongue and responds to familiar voices.

🤲 Fine Motor Skills:
• Hands are often in fists, but they might start to open up.
• Grasping reflex is still strong—hold onto those tiny fingers!

🏋️‍♀️ Gross Motor Skills:
• Lifting their head briefly during tummy time.
• Small, jerky arm and leg movements are normal as they build strength.

How You Can Support Their Growth:
• Eye Contact: Get close, talk softly, and make silly faces. Your baby loves seeing YOU!
• Tummy Time: Place them on their tummy for a few minutes at a time, several times a day, to strengthen their neck and upper body. Use a rolled-up towel under their chest or lie down face-to-face for extra encouragement.

Every baby develops at their own pace, so celebrate the small wins and keep engaging! You’ve got this!
