This is how babies develop in the 8th month

Appointments – What's coming up in the 8. month?

Observe development: Preventive check-ups or vaccination appointments are not scheduled in your baby's eighth month of life. If you feel that your child hears less well, is less attentive or active than other children in their age group, make an appointment with the pediatrician to clear any uncertainties out of the way.
Learning to crawl: Most parents can hardly wait to see their child crawl or walk. Keep in mind that there are no fixed dates for development – every child learns at their own pace. As parents, you can praise your child and encourage their development – learning to crawl or walk cannot be rushed.

Physical development: In the eighth month, your baby can probably already move independently from a lying to a sitting position and sit fairly securely. To reach interesting objects, your baby stretches and reaches. Some can even move around the room by crawling.
Language development: Even if your child does not yet respond verbally, they now understand a lot. They know their name and the meaning of frequently used words. They may react to things they don't like with loud protest.
Pincer grip: Babies reach for everything that seems interesting to them. At eight months they can already use the so-called pincer grip and use thumb and forefinger to pick up and hold smaller objects precisely.
Curiosity: There is always something new for your baby to discover. At eight months, some of their favorite activities include opening drawers, emptying shelves, and exploring flower pots.
Volume: Your baby can already control its voice quite well. It can consciously control loud and quiet sounds.

Changes in body weight are now only minor – your child weighs between 7.900 and 8.600 grams and is about 69 to 71 centimeters tall.
