A Baby's Fifth Month, Motor Skills, Visual & Hearing Development

 

A Five Month Old Baby
Stimulate the baby to play freely, because this will awaken her curiosity and sense of ownership. In this stage it’s good that the toys you give her awaken an immediate response and are nice to the touch. In other words, if the baby presses on something and lights were to go off or a noise comes from the toy. Surely at this stage the baby will babble, so make sure to be aware of her demands so that you understand what she is trying to say and can respond in a coherent way. This will give the baby confidence.
