Welcome to the fifth month. Your endlessly entertaining, more easily entertained, and just plain yummier than ever baby is ready for fun, games, and conversation, really any kind of social interaction, the sillier the better.
Be prepared for lots of crowd-pleasing giggles, gurgles, and goofiness as she tries out her budding personality on you, the cashier in the store, a random man on the street, a baby in a nearby stroller, the other parents in the playground, really anyone whose eyes she can catch with her adorable antics.
But watch out, baby's doing a lot more than just looking at the world around him. Now, he's touching it, too, exploring everything that's within reach with those hands, and putting everything and anything into that mouth. Foot in mouth, too? Oh yes, that's standard practice for your still phenomenally flexible baby, and there's no better built-in toy for your little one than his toes.
Speaking of toys, offer up plenty that your little player can grasp, mouth, and eventually pass from hand to hand. If baby's still spending much of her days horizontal, the play gym will still be fun, but be sure to switch out some of the dangling toys for interest. Activity bars on your little one's infant seat will provide loads of fun, as will squeaky rubber toys that can be squeezed, banged against the floor, or mouthed. Something that will come in handy if early teething is on tap this month. Soft stuffed animals may become fan favorites, so be sure to provide your cuddly cutie with some cuddly cuties of her own.
What milestones is baby reaching this month? Your little one will probably be able to raise up on his arms when on his tummy and keep his head level when propped in a sitting position. He'll likely be able to roll over and reach for an object. Half of all babies this age will be able to bear weight on their legs when held upright, and many love to take a stand and a bounce on a willing lap. You'll never know unless you try.
Sitting pretty? Most babies haven't accomplished unassisted sitting yet, so many are happy to sit propped up, and a few may be able to balance themselves in a tripod position, AKA froggy-style.
Be sure to listen up, baby's babbling may soon start to include vowel and consonant combos, or breathy coos may still have it. Wet razzes are definitely a baby favorite to give and get.
What's baby eating? It's still all liquids now, with solids more likely to get the green light from the pediatrician closer to the six month mark. If you're unsure how to proceed with solids or when, check in with the pediatrician.
In the meantime, feel good - no, great - about sticking to the breast or bottle for now. Baby's best source of nutrition for the first half of the first year and all your little one needs to grow on. Here's to a happy month five.
Aw i remember not to long ago i followed u for fetus development. Was so excited every new week. Now my lil boy has born.
Congratulations 🎉
8 months now? How is he?☺️🙏🏾
Is it ugly?
Same here i knowwwwww
Same here and now shes here! Time flys!
I have nothing to say besides I love my daughter and want her to stay this little forever 😭❤️
Same here! I feel so rushed with my second born because I’m so busy with both! He’s getting so big and it makes me so sad 😞
😭 same
Any advice after two years?
From fetal development to baby development it’s a blissful feeling having the little one finally here!
Sure beats being pregnant that’s for sure 😂
My daughter is about to turn 5 months next week and she's already learning to sit on her own and has the right motions for crawling. Has a teeth coming out and SHE loves to grab and pull things.
From fetal development to baby development so happy i got my baby girl and she is growing so lovely
I love reading about how you all love your babies. I was blessed with that feeling this year. Joy!
I've already raised 3 children, but I just had another little surprise and lately I've been adoring just watching these milestone videos.
My daughter is always yelling “MAMAMAMA” 😂 I am loving it! I know she isn’t saying mama and she has no idea what it means but it just makes me so happy
hahahahahha you got me there! I was starting to think there was somtheing wrong with my son!
I love it!
Wow that's amazing my boy just turned 5 months today, loves to smiles a lot but no mamamama yet.
@@lizasarri6638 🙈🤣🤣me tooo
I'm soo happy my baby girl does all this sitting and babbling just so sweet and cute 😍
My son is definitely ahead of the curb wow. He’s such a busy body. Crawling, going from back to stomach to sitting and trying to pull himself up to stand on objects. It came out of nowhere

Me too, i cry idk why ❤️
I'm a new father and I was watching from she was 1 month pregnant until now and will keep watching

Not too long ago I was watching the week by week development. Now my baby boy is going on 5 months in a couple weeks 😭💙

My baby is 4 months a sitting up already when placed in a sitting position but I only allow her to do it for a few seconds so she is comfortable but she can definitely do so all by her tiny self

Babies are adorable.
Great video miss thanks
My daughter is making five month but has not yet sit it worries me a lot but I’m leaving it up to God
My baby girl is 5 mnth old and she sits hands free style or both hands holding a toy. I’m so proud of her
Well done
Lucky! Mine still needs support but he does well with bearing weight on his legs when standing assisted
That’s amazing!
Am happy with my daughter at her 5th month
My baby preemie. 7 months, 5 months corrected. Just here for information
Starting 5th month or end
My baby started solids at 4 1/2 months. He was obviously ready.
I had to also. She seemed like she was so hungry and milk just wasn’t cutting it for her
Same here
my sister is almost 5 months im watching this for her she will be 5 months in 3 days
Maine in six days God bless our children 🙏❤️
My daughter's pediatrician told me to start at 4 months with baby food 😳 my baby wasn't ready for them until 5 months and she'll be 6 months soon and eats 1 or 2 jars a day
Same here. We started him at 5 months and still gradually are increasing. He will be 5 months 3 weeks next week but was born 1 week 3 days early
My baby started at 4 months as well, because the pediatrician said he looked ready. He has done pretty great with it, and enjoys it! Every baby is different, and will do things at their own time!
Be careful look into metals in baby food and try make your own
Beechnut and Gerber have metals and led
My baby boy is 5 months today 🎉
Me: 19, in college, no where ready to have a kid, not wanting a kid at the moment
Also me: watches this
Mm
Mm
September 2011
Awessummmm
you forgot to mention that babies LOVE POTATO CHIPS at this stage!!! 😄
Nice
Yo mine just straight up started gunning it army crawl style one morning and fell off the bed. It was like something in her awoke and she followed her calling.
Start watching them because they can literally rapid evolve sometimes.
Aww bless your baby.
@@nasirb3914 thank you! Actually she rapidly evolved after sleeping again because she woke up trying to stand up only a few days after turning 6 months 💀
Bro that’s crazy. Mine just turned 4 months, I’m waiting for something like that to happen
@@manssman1 That's insane and terrifying lol
My baby is 5 months but can’t sit yet
12 year old me:🥰😂🙂😌
My baby started crawling last month at 4 months and is sitting now
My baby doesn't sit up or roll over I'm worried 😫
My baby just turned 5 months today... she doesnt like toys she only likes to touch thibgs aroubd the house but she cannpt crawl so its just carrying her around to the plants lights curtains spoons and bowls etc... idk she just doesn't seem like a regular 5 month old
my daughter rolled over twice when she was 4 months but never did it again
My baby is not rolling over yet.
I’m so worried, my 5 mo baby girl hates tummy time, she always has. She is still not rolling on her own, she much prefers sitting assisted. I’m not sure what to do. I know I should keep doing tummy time but I’m worried she will still be delayed with crawling 😢
Same
Mine loves tummy time but won’t sit, even assisted. Flops his head to the side too
Update: she rolls (at 6 mo) only to one direction 😅 but she rolls ! She still prefers to sit though
@@anamartinez4002 my daughter roll at 6m too she struggle sometimes but she can roll both side sitting unassisted she started crawling whn she 6m and 2 days she’s a tummy crawler trying to go on her knees
My baby is 4 months and 3 weeks and she has 2 bottom teeth already
my baby is about to be 5 months next week and doesn’t reach out to touch things should i be concerned?
I was wondering the SAME thing. 🙃
Hey! It's been 2 months. How about now?
My baby is not very excited about toys either
@@yanabanana5086 my baby is 7 months now not much of a change he’ll grasp things but i think its by accident and not Intentionally he’s going to have therapy for his fine motor skills i think you should try to look into therapy if nothing changes by 6 months!
@@shannamarie5473 thanks for replying! We will have a 6 month appointment to check his development. How is the therapy working for you?
My husband told me he had problems with fine motor skills up to 18 months... But now he's a guitarist 🤷♀️😄
@@yanabanana5086 therapy is going pretty good its once a week and how did the appointment go for you? and see we stress about milestones and they turn out to be fine in the long run😊
Ok well my son just turned 5 months and I’m feeding him Berber baby food , is this ok ?
I started giving her once she turned 4 months yes it should be okay I see no problem with my baby
I did it kinda early too, but made my baby poop very solid. Wasn’t ready for that
If pediatrician says yes then yes. Baby must have good head control, can sit steady while assisted, and most importantly the tongue thrust reflex must be gone
My daughters just turned 5 months a couple days ago and yesterday she said daddy lol I’d she advanced?
Yes. ShE iS nOt LiKE oThEr BaBiEs
My boy 5 month old not doing any this. Not reaching rolling putting head up on tummy time really behind
Did everything turn out okay? Mine is in the same situation. All babies are different 💗
@@Jenkittypaw he getting there thanks he still behind he 18 mouth only just learning to walk. Baby defo developed at different rates but defo let health vistor know if worried
My baby is 5 month 6 days
Can't roll over fro
Tummy to back ?
I am really concerned?
Did everything turn out okay? Waiting on mine to have interest in rolling as well.
With this covid 19 pandemic. Baby n mommy on lockdown at home. So shitty
My baby can crawl and sit without support before 5 months and now she's practicing to stand on her own. #proudmama
My 5month son still hates tummy time do you guys have any tips?
Same! I don’t know what to do at this point 😩
@@OverTheREINBEAU87 Hi don't worry too much my son started doing his turns and rolls around 6 months , you just need to keep doing what your doing and you'll get a rolling baby
My baby did too, so I just kept doing it with him multiple times a day for a few minutes at a time. Now he’s almost 5 months, and likes it a lot more thankfully! He will do it sometimes for 10 minutes+ a time, at least 6+times a day. It took a lot of time, and patience but your baby will get there! Every baby does things at their own speed, so no need to worry!
❤🌹😂
My baby is five months old but he can't stand and sit by himself
Im 4 months pregnant yet i have a 5 month old lol
Damn cudnt keep it closed cud ya? 💀
@@Stl-vs7gm Jealous
Congratulations 🍾🎈🎊 you a Queen indeed
@@Stl-vs7gm that’s fucking rude
@@lucyhayward7632 definitely rude. But I literally have no idea how a woman can have sex few weeks after giving birth. I mean it's even not recommended by doctors... The whole bleeding thing is still going...
Anyways
The guy's a douche, but I also can't support the excited comments
i’m an auntie now.
Pediatrician said at 4 month mark … solids .. rice cereal … apples … carrots boiled purée , potatoes purée, squash, my goodness I’m forgetting what else carrots potato.. on its own and then mix after 4 and a half but each should be tried 3 days and then break three days and breakkkk.. coming from EUROPE !!!!
Thank you for this , very helpful !
My sister's baby 5 month old. He is still not recognising. Always crying and he doesn't open his eyes regularly.he always cry.
Doctor said his mind haven't developed. Is this true? His neck also not strong .Any suggestions please....
Baby unfortunately most likely has a genetic disorder. For instance, babies with autism stare a lot, don't socialize, and don't reach out or interact with objects.
@@tootynuggets is there any cure? Besides physio therapy?
Is he autistic? Can you take him to physical therapy?
@@thehumblepeach9018 he has genetic problem. We are doing daily physiotherapy. Is there any cure for genetic problem. Kid can't sit straight. He is now 8 months old.
@@raffiehydermirza1803 no, sorry, as far as I know, there isn’t besides therapy and staying as healthy as possible.
My baby eating solids n drinking water, while sitting with no support since 4 months. Do what's best for ur baby
Love it until she said listen to the pediatrician that ha no training on nutrition tell me when to feed my baby
