Your 5-month-old baby

5 months

Your little one is already 5 months old!

Up until now, you’ve been the one showing all the affection, but you may soon start to see something back, and it will be so worth the wait. You baby might hold out their arms to be picked up, and – in a true-heart-melt moment - put their pudgy little arms around your neck!

As the months go on, your baby’s muscles will be getting stronger and they’ll be progressing from laying on their back, to laying on their front. By five months old a few babies may have mastered sitting up around now, but the majority will still look like the leaning Tower of Pisa and will need all the cushions you have to prop them up.

Your baby will start to add new sounds to their repertoire – a growl here, a squeak or a gurgle there. A perennial favourite is blowing raspberries, which often prove so hilariously popular to babies they won’t stop practising. You may also find they’re repeating sounds as they start to explore and enjoy their new found abilities.

This is the time to rediscover your inner child as your baby will laugh if you pull funny faces or make funny sounds. They may try to make you laugh, too. Who could resist?
