Some babies are walking well by nine months of age. However, most of us have babies that take their sweet time about this. Do not be in any hurry. Once your baby is walking, he will get into all sorts of mischief and you will wish that he was still that nice quiet baby that stayed in one place. If you would like to help your baby learn to walk, you can help him learn to cruise around the furniture as described above.
Many infants start having trouble sleeping through the night.
It is important for you to realize that falling asleep is not an easy, automatic or passive process. It is an active, learned behavior. In other words, babies must learn to put themselves to sleep. Make sure that your baby has a quiet, calm place to sleep. This is sometimes not an easy task, particularly if you have other children.
