What are the growth and development standards for a five and a half month old baby?

A five-and-a-half-month-old baby can already turn over freely and move his body to the music. The baby cannot sit steadily yet and tends to slump forward when sitting. At the same time, the baby is very interested in his own feet. He often holds his feet and tries to "taste" their taste, and begins to have his own will. So what is the development standard for a five and a half month old baby? Let's take a look with the editor below!

2. Physiological condition of five and a half month old baby:

At five and a half months old, babies have already formed taste buds on their tongues that sense flavor. This is also the period when taste development and function improve most rapidly. Babies will show very keen reactions and leave "memory" to any changes in the taste of food. Therefore, babies can distinguish the various tastes of food such as sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, etc. more clearly and finely.

At this point, your baby's visual range can reach several meters and will continue to expand. The baby's eyeballs can move up, down, left, and right to pay attention to small things, such as snacks on the table; when the baby sees the mother, the eyes will follow the mother's figure. By now your baby can basically tell the difference between red, blue, and yellow, so don't be surprised if your child prefers red or blue; these seem to be the favorite colors for children of this age.

3. Tips:

1. Epidemic prevention reminder: Babies this month must remember to get the third dose of the DTP vaccine. Babies may have a low fever after the injection, so parents need to pay attention to their care.

2. Avoid frightening the baby: The baby now has the ability to remember things. If he is frightened during the day, it may cause nightmares at night and he may suddenly cry while sleeping. Parents should try to protect their babies from adverse stimulation.

3. Babies cannot eat honey: If your baby has constipation, do not use honey to treat it. Babies under 1 year old cannot eat honey.

4. Be careful of intussusception: If your baby used to sleep well but suddenly starts crying frequently in the middle of the night, you should still be careful about the possibility of intussusception.
