How to properly care for and create a daily routine?
As children become very mobile, it is important to take good care of their skin. Therefore, if the temperature regime in your house allows, let him lie in a crib naked. In any case, make sure that the child does not get redness on the skin from seams on clothing or bed.
- Children need to be bathed daily. If your son or daughter is very active, it is better to conduct water procedures in the morning, as this can only provoke them before bed.
- As in the previous months, wash your baby every day, wipe his eyes and clean the ears and spout.
- Walking in the fresh air can now be performed not only in the stroller, but also with kangaroos. The closeness of the mother will not reassure the child, and he will not be afraid of many unfamiliar objects, but will be able to actively explore the world.
- A child at five months is not so much asleep by day and parents have more opportunities to play with him in developing games. However, he will surely doze every time after feeding. If you correctly develop the regime, the baby will sleep at night with a deep sleep and wake up only if something seriously worries him.
- If the carapace is trying to crawl, do not in any way prevent him from doing it. But force is not recommended.
Lessons for development
Some mothers are annoyed that children of this age adore throwing toys or other objects on the floor. In no case do not scold your child for this, because for him this process is a kind of game. The kid develops not only the fine motor skills of the fingers, but also the hearing, as he closely watches the speed of falling of the object and the sound that is produced.
It is believed that at this age children are very fond of playing dice. You can buy a toy made of soft fabric. The main thing is that they are environmentally friendly, bright, but without sharp corners and small elements.
Children can already demonstrate bright and large images of flowers, animals or household items. Tell him about everything that he sees around, because at this age babies absorb all information, like a sponge.
That is why it is important to maintain a friendly and warm atmosphere between parents. Toddlers react very sensitively to the irritability or anger of adults and can become moody or nervous.
