Development of a child in 5 months

Knowledge of the child's age criteria is very important. They can help in a timely manner to take action if any deviations are found.

So, what is the development of a child in 5 months? First of all, parents are interested in changes in the baby's motor activity. Development of the child in 5 months noticeably progresses. At this age, the child placed on the tummy, is already able to lean on the palms, and not only on the forearms, with his arms straightened, and the body is raised. Not all, but many children are already trying to release one handle and reach for one of the toys laid out around them to grab it and send it to the mouth. In the same situation, the kid tries to look at the world more, "talks".

If you put the child on his back, he will lift not only the head, but his shoulders, thereby trying to see his legs and catch them. And he already manages to grab one of them with his hand.

Also, the baby turns over on his back from the position on his stomach. And from the back he rolls not all over his body on his stomach, but by twisting in his spine.

Development of the child at 5 months does not stand still and in the management of the movements of the pens. If you offer a baby a toy with a comfortable grip, he will direct two hands to her to grab. Moving a small object from one handle to another is also to his strength. True, it is difficult for the baby to keep two toys at the same time, so to take the second one, he is forced to throw the first one. It is advisable to choose rattles of orange, green, blue and yellow colors.

The baby, who is on artificial feeding, from this age begins to take spoons and thick food, and not just half-asleep. Moreover, even at the sight of a spoon, he opens his mouth with a willingness to take food.

The child's mental development at 5 months is manifested by a conscious perception of a new place: he may even be frightened. The kid in the house and on the street looks from one thing to another, people to others, watches the events, looks around. At this age, there should not even be a short-term strabismus.

A five-month-old baby hears well and reacts to sound stimuli: he turns to the source of the noise, looks for a glance, gets worried. With a smile and a whistle he answers his mother's most native voice. Although, it can not react in any way to the voice of a stranger.

Also, the kid begins to distinguish between people whom he has not once seen before, in appearance.

Emotional development of the child in 5 months passes from a simple expression of pleasure or discontent associated with physical sensations, to reactions associated with communication. That is, feelings gradually acquire a social character.

Pre-speech development of the child in 5 months differs long "singing" of vowels, and with change of their loudness, length and height. Agukanie in this period also continues. Gradually, the vowels are connected with the vowels, resulting in an elementary babble: "ba, da, am, ha, ta", the syllables are pronounced, as a rule, several times in a row. If you "talk" with the baby, it will imitate even the rhythm and intonation of the sounds that the adult says. Speech development of the child is facilitated by a constant conversation with him from others. How to implement it, what to talk about? You can comment on all the actions, manipulations that are carried out with the baby himself, call objects and actions around, express his own desires, emotions in words.

Each child develops individually, so do not worry if something starts a little later. However, if there is a significant deviation from the described norms, it is necessary not to delay, but to consult a specialist to help the baby on time.
