Hi, Thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
Yes a child should be able to it alone by at least eight months of age. If she was born premature then we may correct her age and give her more time.
For teething you may not worry till about ten months of age.
I would suggest you get her developmental assessment test done.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
