Five-month-old baby's growth and development standards

The birth of a new baby is something every family looks forward to. However, after the baby is born, the baby will have different changes every month. The height, weight, consciousness, etc. will continue to change with the increase of months. Now many hospitals will arrange regular physical examinations for the baby, but parents themselves should also understand this knowledge. So what are the growth and development standards for a five-month-old baby? Let’s find out together.

During this period, the baby's facial features such as eyebrows and eyes have "grown up", and the face is ruddy and smooth, becoming more lovely. At this time, the baby has gradually matured, showing a lively and lovely body, and the growth rate of height and weight has begun to slow down compared with before.

At five months old,

The weight of male babies is 5.3-9.2 kg and the length is 60.5-71.3 cm.

The weight of the female baby is 5.0 to 8.4 kg and the length is 58.9 to 69.3 cm.

Babies have no self-awareness before five months and cannot distinguish between themselves and others, but they know their mothers very early. The presence of their mothers gives them a sense of security and trust. When they hear their mothers' voices, they will babble happily.

Every time the baby learns something, the family will be excited for a long time. Therefore, as parents, we must also keep abreast of the standards for our baby's growth and development, so that we can compare our own baby's development and know in a timely manner whether the baby's development level is within the standard range.
