The development of a five -month -old baby is directly dependent on rational nutrition, that is, if you breastfeed the baby, then balance your nutrition. During this period it is too early to introduce complementary foods. But it’s time to order a developmental rug for children, which will be very interesting to the baby.
A child of five months already recognizes parents and other relatives, but only those who are constantly with him, treat the rest with some fear, because, regardless of the degree of kinship, they are strangers for him.
Waking up in the morning, the baby does not call his mother first, he independently turns on his stomach, considers his own toys. Moreover, at five months, not the whole toy is interesting to the child, but its individual parts, because they can be felt. This lesson favorably affects the development of the fraction of the brain responsible for the development of speech.
At five months, the baby is “talking” a lot and often, however, it is so far only like a combination of various sounds, but this stage is important in the development of the child. Buy the baby toys that make sounds: rattles, squeaks or bells.
A child at this age already distinguishes voices, and depending on what intonation you speak, he can cry or smile at you.
The baby is more confidently managing with his own hands – he easily takes the toy that you give him, in addition, he feels and examines it.
A five-month-old child can be captivated by any game or examining a book with bright beautiful pictures. The kid sleeps about 16 hours a day at five months, 10 of which falls overnight.
At this age, it is important to observe the regime of the day, since this affects the development of the child.
