What behavior is normal at 5 months? Here are some skills you can expect to see in a healthy baby.

This has been an amazing journey, and I thank all who have joined me in it! The feedback has been great, and I’m so glad to have you share this amazing adventure. This past month has proven to be a time of even more milestones in my infant son’s development. How is it that infants can grow so much in such little time?

At the ages of 8-12 months, your baby will begin to need less sleep
during the day and should be regularly sleeping through the night. But
there’s also much more activity and stimulation during the day ? babies
are eating up the world at this stage, they’re learning so much.

There’s nothing more wonderful than planning the nursery for your new
baby. If you’ve decided to find out the gender of your baby, you can
have the room all ready for him or her when you come home from the
hospital.

The trend for awhile was to have bright, stimulating colors in the
nursery or mobiles in black and white to help the baby’s eyes develop.
This faded from popularity pretty quickly as parents found out all that
trendy stuff wasn’t conducive to sleep!

As your newborn baby grows, it is slowly acclimating to sleeping at
night and being awake during the day. Also, as baby’s stomach is
growing and holding more breast milk or formula, it will be able to go
for longer periods between feedings at night.  At approximately three
months of age your baby will likely sleep about 15 hours out of each
24-hour period, and two thirds of that sleep will take place during the
night. Most babies will have settled into a daily sleep routine of two
or three sleep periods during the day, followed by “sleeping through
the night” for 6 to 7 hours after a late-night feeding.
