Question 1

my 9 month old wakes up frequently at night.she healthy and doc said she is good.but still moves too much at night and wakes up a lot.help i'm so tire?

Accepted Answer

Common transition: Between 6-9 mo most infants begin to realize they depend on their primary source people &amp; can develop a separation anxiety.If they wake &amp; don't see you immediately they can become fully awake and fuss.It takes into the 2nd year before this passes.You might just look at a clock &amp; wait 5m before checking. If she persists, check but avoid picking her up.Comfort her for a few and leave, repeat as need

Question 2

9-month-old granddaughter has always been at 50th percentile for ht & wt but, at 9-mo check-up, fell to 5th for ht & wt.  how common is this?

Accepted Answer

Not uncommon: At this age, children are changing from milk to foods as their main source of nutrition. In that process, they may not eat as many calories as they were for a while. Just keep offering healthy meals and snacks (if needed). Recheck her weight and height at the 12 month well check, and see if she is catching back up again. If not, discuss with her doctor.

Question 3

my baby boy is now. 9 month old and since he borned he wakes up al lot at night almost 7 times ! his health is good why he wakes up ? is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Lessen his naps: during daytime to only 1 nap for 30-45 minutes in afternoon.  Check to see if he has nightmares, or if he acts like it.  No milk/juice at night.  Check his blood sugar to make sure he is not waking up because he has to urinate too often (symptom of diabetes).  Lastly check his diet if he is drinking caffeinated soft drinks.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 4

my 9 month old baby is healthy but is a poor sleeper he wakes easily and during the night will wake up more than 5 times it's been for a few months?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doc: Where does the baby sleep? How do you respond when he wakes? You may be enabling him and indirectly perpetuating the problem. He may have reflux. This is best handles face to face to get a lot of questions answered...You may also have a sleep specialist in your area. Usually your pediatrician can really help.

Question 5

my 9 month old has a high fever and periodically shakes as if he's shocked causing him to either wake up or cry and sounds slightly congested ?

Accepted Answer

Must treat fever: Babies become severely dehydrated quickly from high temperatures. This can lead to serious consequences. Be sure to hydrate and use anti-pyretics  (advid and tylenol) and go to an md soon. Goog luck!

Question 6

can a nine month old eat strawberrries?

Accepted Answer

Sure: You can start introducing berries from 6 months of age but be sure to only give one new food every three days.  If you notice a rash, itchiness, or other symptoms it might be a sign of a food allergy.  Strawberries should be cut up into small pieces so that there is less of a choking hazard.

Question 7

how can i stimulate my six to nine month old child during playtime?

Accepted Answer

Couple suggestions: When awake, your baby may enjoy watching you work. Baby may scoot or roll so a playpen or safe floor area is a must. Floor time helps baby build strength it will need to crawl at nine months. Brightly colored toys are favored at this age.

Question 8

was there any nutritious biscuits for nine month old baby?

Accepted Answer

Many available: Gerber &amp; many other companies produce biscuits for babies. I don't consider them necessary to their health or nutrition.I worry that they could break off up in chunks &amp; be inhaled into the lungs. Young infants cannot verbalize such an accident if it happens. If they want to suck on some Cheerios  or similar small items I am less concerned.

Question 9

when do six to nine month old babies typically get sick?

Accepted Answer

Seldomly: A baby is seldom ill in the first few months of life. Much of mother's immunity transfers to the baby providing temporary protection that begins to wear off by three months. At this point, we begin to see fever, congestion, or diarrhea as a sign of babies new susceptibility to viruses.

Question 10

what does it mean when my nine month old's head is in the 97th percentile?

Accepted Answer

He has a big head: At least 3% of the normal population will have a head of this size or more, and usually one or other parent does too. There are some medical conditions where this is worrisome, but the doc will look into that. For most, it is just hard to find a hat that fits. It doesn't bother me at all.
