I Need Comments 150 Words 3

I would talk to the parent about the infant’s feedings. Have solid foods other than breastmilk or formula been introduced? If dry cereal or other finger food has been introduced, can the child use the pincher grasp to pick up a piece, transfer one hand to the other, and put a piece in her mouth (however successful attempts may be!)?

Finally I would assess muscle development and gross motor skills, including the parent’s replies in the assessment as well, as it not always possible to ask a 9 month old girl to pull up to standing on demand. Does the child sit up unassisted, can she stand supporting her own weight, does she crawl?
