Early education highlights for 5 months old baby. Help your baby to adapt to the outside world.
Action
At 5 months old, the baby can turn his body from supine to prone position gradually. He can even sit alone for a while with support. Your baby will pick the food they like with one hand and put it into his mouth.
Early education highlights：
At 5 months old, your baby begins to learn to turn over. Parents can hide behind the baby and call out to the baby, your baby will look for you and try to turn over. Parents can gently move the baby’s legs to help the baby to turn over.
Once the baby is able to turn over on his own, you can help your baby to sit up.
Language
During this month, the baby will start to understand how to pronounce words. The baby will make ba-ba, da-da, and ma-ma repetitive sounds. Although it sounds like nonsense, if you listen carefully, you will find that the baby will raise and lower their tone, as if they are speaking or asking some questions.
Early education highlights：
Read your baby a nursery rhyme in your preferred first language or sing a song to your child. When your baby makes some sounds, the parents can also use the mobile phone to record the sound, then play it to the baby, and tell him: Baby, listen! This is your voice!
Cognition
Babies will understand basic concepts this month. When the baby kicks the mattress, he feels that the crib is shaking. When your baby hits or shakes the bell, he knows that the bell can make a sound. When the baby discovers that certain behaviours will lead to a certain result, the baby will continue to do that and observe the results.
Early education highlights：
Parents can walk around while holding their baby and introduce him to his surrounding, such as pictures hanging on the wall, flowers and plants outside the window, and small decorations on the bookshelf. Lead your baby to feel the surface of the sofa, the tabletop, etc. with his hands. This brings stimulation to your child.
Social
At 5 months old, your baby is happy when he hears the voice of a person he knows. He not only responds by smiling, but sometimes he will laugh out loud. In addition, he will protest and reject verbally to those who try to take his toys away.
Early education highlights：
If your baby does not have an older sibling, you can take your baby to the playground to play with other children. Your baby will enjoy the interaction.
