style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the age of seven months, most babies are both willing and able to eat finger foods (they now develop the ability to grasp objects with their fingers). This transition happens abruptly rather than slowly. Once babies discover that they can take food into their mouths independently, the number of foods they can deftly pop into their mouths rapidly increases. At first, many babies gnaw pieces of bread into their fists.\u00a0Bread is the food he can hold most comfortably, as he\u00a0cannot fully use\u00a0his\u00a0fingers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Learning to handle finger foods is\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">often the first step towards freedom at the dinner table. Among the foods that deserve to be the first finger food are foods that can be circulated between the baby&#8217;s gums and made to be swallowed or dispersed in the mouth without the need for chewing. These foods should mostly be cut into chewable pieces. Good choices include whole-wheat bread or toast, small cheese sticks, soft banana, pear, peach, and apricot chunks, soft-cooked carrots, potatoes, broccoli, soft meatballs, lop-cooked yolks and whole eggs when ready to eat. To give finger foods, scatter four or five pieces on an unbreakable plate or the baby&#8217;s feeding table and replace them as the baby eats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Should_an_8-Month-Old_Baby_Weight\"><\/span><b>How Much Should an 8-Month-Old Baby Weight?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An 8-month-old boy weighs an average of 8500 g, and an 8-month-old girl weighs 8200 g.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_cm_Should_an_8-Month-Old_Baby_Be\"><\/span><b>How Many cm Should an 8-Month-Old Baby Be?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 8-month-old baby girl height lower limit: 62<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 8-month-old baby girl height upper limit: 75<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 8-month-old baby boy height lower limit: 63<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 8-month-old baby boy maximum height: 77<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Months_Old_Baby_Sleep\"><\/span><b>8 Months Old Baby Sleep<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this period, he can sleep longer at night, as he will have completed the transition to different food entirely. You do not need to wake your baby to breastfeed at night after switching to solid food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as your baby enters a more active period, he may start to wake up earlier. One of the things you should pay attention to during this period is safety in bed. Because an 8-month-old baby may show tendencies to hold on and get up, therefore, his bed can be dangerous for him, especially at night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_8_Month_Old_Baby_Crawls\"><\/span><b>Does 8 Month Old Baby Crawls?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, let&#8217;s not forget that crawling is an entirely baby-specific behaviour. Just because an 8-month-old baby hasn&#8217;t started to crawl yet doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s slow to develop. Sometimes, your baby may have difficulty crawling due to his weight, or he may not crawl just because he doesn&#8217;t want to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Month_Old_Baby_Games\"><\/span><b>8 Month Old Baby Games<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that your baby sits on his own, you will see that he starts playing when you put the toys in front of him. He can hold, play, and change toys by himself. Therefore, you can buy him soft toys and support his development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your baby starts crawling preparations during these months, so you can play games to encourage him.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Months_Baby_Doctor_Checkup\"><\/span><b>8 Months Baby Doctor Checkup<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most doctors do not do routine well-child\u00a0<\/span><b><i>checkups\u00a0<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this month, but if you have a problem or your baby has a problem, you should contact your doctor immediately.\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Would you like to share your experiences and questions as a comment?<\/p>\n<p>Have a nice and healthy day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Does an 8-Month-Old Baby Do?
