Baby Games (5th Month)
Strong Fellow: When the baby is lying on her back, give her a light but firm stick so that she holds onto. Pull it very carefully until you get her to sit up. Stimulate the baby with encouraging words while you do this and give her a big applause afterwards.
Hide and Seek: Partially hide a toy and ask the baby “Where is the doll?” then show it to her and say, “Here’s the doll!”
Cover your face partially with a handkerchief and ask, “Where’s mommy?” Then uncover your face and say, “Here’s mommy!”
You can also cover part of the baby’s face and ask her “Where’s Andrea?” Then uncover her face and say, “Here’s Andrea!”
As the baby starts getting involved in the game you can cover more objects, even hide it completely. This can be done when the baby is seven months old.
I’ll be Right Back: Talk to the baby while you leave the room and continue doing so when the baby cannot see you. Come back into the room immediately so that the baby does not get upset and continue talking to the baby. This way the baby will learn that sounds go further and come closer.
Music and Poetry: Sing songs that have a lot of rhythm to the baby or recite short poetry. Invent little stories about the human body, about the things in the house, fruit or domestic animals. Show them to the baby with mimics while your signal at what you are talking about.
Who’s There?: Put the baby in front of a mirror and ask her, for example, “Who’s that?”. Answer signaling at the image and say “It’s Kimberly, this is you”. Repeat this to the baby every day.
Keep in mind that there are no rigid rules for achieving the different stages. A time of one or two months is not pathologic at all, as long as the baby responds with expressions to the stimulus given. Sometimes, these goals are achieved before others and some after.
Some Advice On Babies (5th Month)
- Do not leave the baby in a bed or in a high surface; remember that at this age, the baby can already move around.
- Take out the toys from the crib when the baby is going to sleep as the baby could get stuck in one of the toys and get hurt or wake up.
- Do not leave the baby alone in the bathtub for even a second. Not even with brothers or sisters that are under ten years of age.
- At this stage babies like to put everything into their mouths, and like to verify the type of toy that you give to him or her such as the size, material, texture.
