Bottom line
Week 9 is a time of rapid change for both you and your baby. Every baby develops at their own pace — these are general guidelines, not strict milestones.
Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, reach out to your pediatrician. Worrying about your baby means you care — that is a good thing.
