5 months old development

Strong Enough to feed herself
Your baby may be able to hold her own bottle now and it's fine to let her, but never prop the bottle for her and walk away. A propped bottle could cause your baby to overeat or even choke. Also, if your baby falls asleep while sucking on the bottle, milk or formula can pool in her mouth, coating her teeth with sugar, which can lead to tooth decay. Pooled milk can also drip into the tubes that connect the back of the throat with the middle part of the ear, leading to ear infections.Your baby's probably showing more signs that she's ready for solids — from a weaker tongue-thrust reflex (when your baby pushes out her tongue when something is placed on it) to a keener interest in the foods you and others are eating. But don't be in a rush to give your baby solid food. Discuss when to introduce solid food with your baby's healthcare provider.Your baby's digestive system may not be ready for solids, and she might not be able control her chewing and swallowing muscles. (Don't worry: That will all come in a few weeks.) Giving your baby solid foods too early can raise her risk of developing food allergies, too. Common allergies include citrus, egg whites, peanut butter, wheat, shellfish, and cow's milk.Use family mealtime to socialize with your baby. She'll enjoy watching you eat, and she may even eat more herself as a result. In another month or so, she'll be better able to sit up by herself and grasp small objects, too, adding to her dinner table skills.(Azryl cuma boleh pegang sekejap jer as he kind of lazy to hold the bottle for quite sometimes.Pluss he started to eat semi solid food when he was at 4 months++.baby rice with milk up untill now.yum-yum....)




Sitting All alone
Your baby may now be able to get into a sitting position from lying on her stomach by pushing up on her arms. If she's sitting independently, stay nearby for support — even if you provide pillows to cushion a possible fall. Your baby may have mastered the sitting skill, but she still might lose interest in being upright and topple over.


(Still no sign of sitting on his own yet.But he sure does rolled over and over again super duper fast.!!Within split second u can see him under the table.)



Who's that?!
Your baby may start showing signs of one of her first major emotional milestones — stranger anxiety. She may become clingy and anxious around new (and even familiar!) people and may cry if a stranger suddenly approaches her.Keep this in mind when you're around people she doesn't know, and try not to be embarrassed when she cries in someone else's arms — just take her back and calm her down by holding her yourself. Tell your friends and family to approach your little one with slow gentle movements.A case of stranger anxiety doesn't mean you have to avoid new faces. Your baby will benefit from getting used to being around people other than you and your partner. Just remember that she needs your patience and understanding to get through this very important stage of development.


(in this case so far no sign of rejecting strange people.His father visits him once a week or sometimes once every fortnight but he seemes to act cool and ok with his father.Probably his father always speak with him through the phone.)





Eye see you
At all well-baby visits, your child's doctor should examine your baby's eyes, checking their structure and alignment, her ability to move them correctly, and for signs of congenital eye conditions or other problems. Find out what to expect from the examination and what to look for yourself.


(last check up his paed does not said anything about his eyes while examine azryl's health and body.)

So this is basically what u should espect when your baby hit 5 months old.But do bear in mind babies are unique in their own way.Different baby , different development.Nevertheless as their parent we should always monitor their status and alert when something not right occur to them or happen to them.




So Azryl lalink, mummy is so happy to be your mom. :)
