5 month milestones

In 5 month milestones your baby is like a sponge, absorbing all kinds of information about the world from the environment around them. The groundwork for language begins this month, so along with talking and reading to your baby, play music in your home too. There’s no need to make it all “baby” music either. Anything with a beat is good to go!

In 5 month milestones babies probably have even more need for downtime than adults, since their brain is literally being inundated with new information, new sounds, and new skills 24/7. Your baby needs downtime to rest, recover, and grow, so enjoy some snuggles if you’re both feeling overwhelmed.

In 5 month milestones your child does not usually have to stay home from daycare if they have a simple cold without a fever even if they have a cough and green or yellow runny nose. That is good news for most parents, since cold symptoms commonly last 10 to 14 days and the average child can get five to six colds a year. You usually don't need to stay home from daycare for other common conditions, like a rash without fever, warts, or ringworm.
