5 month milestones

In 5 month milestones your baby is like a sponge, absorbing all kinds of information about the world from the environment around them. The groundwork for language begins this month, so along with talking and reading to your baby, play music in your home too. There’s no need to make it all “baby” music either. Anything with a beat is good to go!

In 5 month milestones babies probably have even more need for downtime than adults, since their brain is literally being inundated with new information, new sounds, and new skills 24/7. Your baby needs downtime to rest, recover, and grow, so enjoy some snuggles if you’re both feeling overwhelmed.

In 5 month milestones your child does not usually have to stay home from daycare if they have a simple cold without a fever even if they have a cough and green or yellow runny nose. That is good news for most parents, since cold symptoms commonly last 10 to 14 days and the average child can get five to six colds a year. You usually don't need to stay home from daycare for other common conditions, like a rash without fever, warts, or ringworm.

In 5 month milestones your baby should have more than doubled their birth weight. Some babies may have even added an extra pound or two to that number and some babies may be just approaching the benchmark. In 5 month milestones month milestone all babies develop differently, but on average, your baby will gain an additional 1–2 pounds this month and add close to 0.8 inches in length.

In 5 month milestones babies will have rapid growth during their first year of life, but sometime around the fifth or sixth month, that growth does slow down. For example, your baby may have doubled their birth weight by 4 or 5 months, but will take until a full year to triple their birth weight.

In 5 month milestones your baby Rolls over from front to back and Sits with support. Your baby may even start pushing up to a sitting position on their own later on this month. Baby can bears weight on legs and reaches for and holds a rattle. He/ she can holds up head and chest on their own and pushes to elbows from stomach. Baby can actively attempts to reach objects that they spot. Baby also follows objects with eyes and chews on their hands.

newborn babies

You didn’t expect newborn babies to be puffy-eyed and wrinkled with a bit of a cone head, but it makes sense considering them long stay in your cramped and watery uterus, followed by a tight squeeze through the birth canal. Luckily newborn babies beautiful to you, and happily they become even more photogenic as the week progresses. Remember to savor all those first cuddles, first feedings and first skin-to-skin snuggles. Now’s the time to start the bonding process with the newest member of your family. Keep in mind, those feelings of love and attachment don’t always happen automatically but sometimes take time to grow over the weeks and months ahead.  Newborn babies will be able to lift their head briefly when placed on their tummy. They will also be able to focus on objects that are within 8 to 15 inches away exactly the distance your face will be when you’re gazing at them, something you’ll likely be doing a lot this week.

4 month old baby

At the age of 4 months your 4 month old baby is ready for fun, games and conversation, any kind of social interaction with you or anyone who happens by, so be prepared for lots of laughter at this age of baby. Your 4 month old baby sleep 10 to 12 hours at night, waking up for a feeding or two, and nap for three to five hours a day, spaced between two or three naps. Your 4 month old baby can raise up on her arms when placed on her tummy and keep her head level when propped in a sitting position. Baby can also roll over (though if she’s had little in the way of tummy time, she may reach this milestone later) and reach for an object. Half of all babies this age will be able to bear weight on their legs when held upright (try it with your little one!) and many babies will play with their toes (think of them as a built-in toy!) and even mouth them.
