Its 5 months already! Doesn’t time fly? While you were busy taking care of wet diapers, your child has already started developing in his own sweet world. There are new milestones that he has reached after every passing month, giving you a harder time with your little one and managing hid activities. Here are some of the different aspects and the changes you can expect in them as your baby steps in the 5th month in the world.

1. Weight:

By the age of 5 months, your little one has doubled the weight that she was in. A quick check up at this stage should be good to talk to your doctor about the risks of your child being underweight and what you can do to make sure that isn’t the case.

2. Baby Care:

Baby care is an important aspect when you are looking at a 5 month old child. Your baby will start rolling around the house from their back and to their tummy and repeat all over again. You will notice how efficiently he has learnt to work on his legs and is ready to crawl around. He is also moving around, so while you are happy to see him roll, make sure you never leave him on bed unattended as he is still delicate and falling off a high bed will leave him badly injured.

You will also notice how your little one loves music and responds to different genres in different ways. Play all kinds to first recognize the one he prefers. When you see he is smiling to one and clapping along, you have discovered your little one’s favourite. Whatever you have hanging over your baby’s crib has to go. Your baby is learning to push his way upwards and any wire above his head just invites trouble.

In case you still haven’t baby proofed the house, now is the time. Place all materials on high cabinets and sharp objects should not be around. Neither should curling irons or coffee machines. Your little one need to be safe and that should be your foremost worry right now.
