Your baby may have developed a sudden shyness of strangers or people she does not see often. This is because babies now become quite aware of themselves as separate from others. Baby will bang objects on a table, reach for food from your plate and quite enjoy being the centre of attention. She can, by the eighth month, manipulate objects between index finger and thumb, and will offer these to mom, but won’t let go. Most parents expect their babies to sleep and eat in a far more adult fashion by now. This could mean that you are in for a time of confusion and unhappiness if your expectations are not met. Moms especially see failure of a baby to sleep through as a sign that they are doing something wrong.
