Parents, having studied the natural biorhythm of their child, set the appropriate daily routine. Approximate mode of children's day in 5 months should look like this:

This mode is very convenient for both children and their parents. It should not be observed exactly, the time for rest and wakefulness can be reduced or increased depending on the needs of the baby.

Sleep

Children's sleep plays the most important role for healthy growth and development.

The regime of the children's day at 5 months of special changes regarding rest did not bring. Sleep is as much as in a four-month age, but it is deeper at night and a short day.

Night sleep at 5 months becomes more robust, continuous and continuous. If the child and stands up for feeding, then how to eat, immediately falls asleep. If this does not happen, do not be nervous, shake the baby, gently stroke and sing a quiet lullaby.

Gradually reduces the time of daytime dreams. The child has already adapted well to extraneous household noise during the rest. And already quietly asleep at the sounds of a working washing machine, TV and other.

Do not forget to ventilate the nursery. And in the summer, ensure a continuous flow of fresh air, opening the window for airing.

Baby food

The main and only food in 5 months is mother's milk or a mixture. Anything other than 6 months of a healthy child should not be given.

Apply to the breast should be as necessary, as close as possible to the formed regime of the day.

As a rule, a baby eats about a liter of milk or a mixture within a day (for 5-6 feedings).

Feeding a child of five months can be administered on the recommendation of a pediatrician in those cases if the baby:

• Not full;
• Poorly gaining weight;
• Do not gorge on mother's milk, constantly fusses;
• Is on full artificial feeding.

Let's figure out what to feed in 5 months of the child who is allowed to enter additional products.

Consider two options.

1. A baby on natural or mixed feeding is not gaining weight well. In this case, the lure is recommended to start with dairy-free cereals, and in time you can include dairy.
2. Artificial feeding of the child for 5 months provides for the possibility of introducing additional products.

If there are no problems with weight, it is recommended to start additional nutrition with vegetable purees (which includes zucchini, cauliflower or potatoes) or fruit (green apple, banana, peach).

The initial portion of complementary foods is up to a teaspoon a day. The volume should be gradually increased, replacing one feeding. The dish should be boiled or baked in the oven.

Feed the child with such products before dinner, to follow the body's reaction. If there is an allergy or problems with digestion, remove this product from the diet. Do not give any food during the week.

Child's hygiene

A child in 5 months swims with great pleasure and actively participates in water games, as it begins to take a vertical position.

From this age the baby can be bathed in a large tub with toys, gently planting it, holding the backrest. Use the circle for swimming, putting it on the child's neck. With the help of him, he will feel more confident and flexible, practicing the basic skills of swimming.

Full care for a delicate corpse also includes:

• Ensuring the cleanliness of the ears, spout and eye;
• Cutting nails;
• Undermining;
• bathing;
• Humidification.

Morning procedures begin with washing the face and washing after removing the diaper or toilet. A jet of warm water is sufficient for these activities. Soap for washing use no more than once a day.

To bathe the baby should be before a night sleep. Warm water helps to relax all muscle groups, it gives a portion of enjoyment, well calms and provides a sound sleep. Soap, gel or foam for bathing, use only once or twice a week. Clean the ears and spout as necessary. At the end of the procedure, wash the child with clean water a degree below the temperature of the liquid in the bath.

The skin in these months remains the same sensitive, prone to chafing, irritation and rashes. To prevent such problems, let the skin breathe - make air baths and moisten the baby's body after bathing.

Remember that all hygiene products must be strictly child-friendly. Since adults, due to various additives and fragrances, can cause irritation and allergy.

Walks in the open air

To be outdoors with a small child you need every day. Duration of walks (depending on weather conditions) should be from 40 minutes to several hours.

In cold or windy weather, reduce the time spent on the street, providing warmth and comfort to the baby in the stroller. In warm summer days walk as often as possible and longer.

Optimal are walks twice a day. For the health of the child, they are useful during sleep. Also, the kid will enjoy spending time outside, when there are so many interesting things around: people, cars, nature, animals, birds.

Than to take the child during wakefulness

The child at 5 months is awake for half an hour or an hour more than before. At this time, he needs to pay maximum attention. Children who are deprived of this develop more slowly and may have mental disorders.

For a few hours of wakefulness you can walk with the baby, exercise physical activity, entertaining and developing games, listen to music, dance, sing songs, read books, tell poems and much more.

Children's massage

The regime of the day of children in 5 months and older provides for the mandatory holding of a massage with the expansion of the complex of gymnastic exercises. Thanks to regular classes your baby will develop faster, become more active and energetic. Massage improves blood circulation, metabolic processes. Gymnastic exercises aimed at motor development of the child 5-6 months, perfectly develop plastic, crawling skills, sitting, walking.

Conduct sessions before feeding or one and a half to two hours after it. For this procedure the main thing:

• Good mood of mother and baby;

Physical development

Physiological changes in the development of a 5-month-old baby are assessed according to the following criteria determined by WHO.

1. Growth (from 62.1 to 63.9 cm). For this month the child grows on average by 2 cm.
2. Weight (from 6,4 to 7 kg). During the fifth month, the baby collects about 700 g.
3. Head circumference (from 40.6 to 41.6 cm).
4. Circumference of the chest (from 42.3 to 42.9 cm).

Here are the average indicators of physical development. The lower limit is the average for girls, and the upper limit for boys. As can be seen, in the male half, the weight at 5 months is slightly larger than that of the female.

The rates of physical development, as well as of the psychomotor, are individual for each child and depend both on the indicators at birth and on the care of the baby.

Psychomotor development

This formation of motor skills, corresponding to the level of mental development of the child.

Children can develop both smoothly and spasmodically. You do not need to get upset and chase after a friend whose child is doing something that your baby can not do for 5 months. Development is always individual. After a week or two your baby will be able to catch up and overtake the skills of the "rival".

At the age of five months, children can:

• To distinguish faces, to recognize oneself in reflection, it is pleasant to react to the voice of mother.
• Drag and grab your favorite thing, take away the toy.
• Grind a rattle, press on musical instruments, play with a peepal, feel objects, study their shape and surface. The child's hearing and sight improve.
• Pull around the surrounding objects, your pens and legs.
• Watch the thing you like, turn your head in all directions.
• Turning from back to back, then to the tummy and back to the back.
• Lie on your stomach, rest on your knees and head, trying to lift the trunk and pelvis.
• Show first attempts to sit.
• Grab and hold Mom's fingers tightly, to get up and take upright position.

The more time you give to the child, talking and playing with it, the faster it will develop.

Formation of speech

The development of fine motor skills and communication with the mother are the main components for the early development of speech. Now the kid is babbling, aukaing, pronouncing various sounds: a-ah, uh, uh-uh. The girl 5 months before the boy begins to publish new vowels (s, a) and consonants (b, n, m), laughs, snarls, squeals, squeaks during the games.

All these skills are a great achievement in the development of a child of five months. Continue to deal with the baby, talk more, while pronouncing the words clearly and correctly. Read poems, tell stories, let's touch objects of different shapes.

Educational toys

Also, use household items (pots, spoons), consider photographs, book pictures. Knead your kid's fingers under your favorite nursery rhymes, play hide and seek, covering your face with a handkerchief. Give the baby to jump on your lap, fly an airplane. Kiss in all parts of the body, naming each of them, hug. Give your love, which the kid needs so much 5 months.
