I am a new mom. My daughter is turning 5 months on the 28 of august. I live all the way in Jamaica but I must say for each monthly development I turn to your channel. It's very helpful and informative. Please continue the good work
Thought I was the only Jamaican here 😊😊😊😊
I was concerned about my baby but after watching this video she’s right where she needs to be!
I see some real negativity in some comments these are suggestions! You know your baby more than anyone! Personally I started little feeding at 4 months and we've gradually been increasing her fruits and veggies. Also, she loves oatmeal. Sometimes she drinks a little less milk in the night. But she gets her 32oz of milk everyday. Remember just suggestions dont be rude..
Gosh I’m a stay at home dad, and well I’m just so fluttery with my little girl. Every little peep melts meeee
My son just turned 5 months and is crawling everywhere! I'm so shocked. He is definitely keeping me on my toes.
Nishkal Nathoo how did u make him do that
Did you take the covid jab prior to having your child?
My son has been eating since 4 months and has been sleeping through the night since he was 2 months
Super baby❤️❤️❤️
Mine too the sleeping through the night thanks to God ! was so concerned i use to dream feed even!
My 5 months old baby Sev is loving his jumping routine. Dribbles yes very bad and scratching until it will bleeds. Mittens soak. Soooo active lil one.
My baby is 5 months old. He has slept through the night from around 3 and a half months. He has around 3 cat naps a day too. He goes to sleep at about 9.30 or 10pm and wakes up at around 6.30 or 7am some days later than that. I feel lucky lol
Same with my baby girl, she started sleeping through the night around two months. She’ll eat last around 11 or so, and sleep until 10 sometimes in the morning.
My baby is 5months today!!! YAAAAAYYYY
My little guy loves to move, he really likes being in his walker and scooting around and he’s trying to crawl. He can support himself sitting up for a short while but he moves around so much ends up falling over. Sometimes he will sleep through night and sometimes he’ll wake up in the middle of the night between 3 and 5.
He’s got two teeth on his bottom gum right in the middle and he drools a lot and just about everything he grabs goes in his mouth.
I’m constantly surprised everyday by how much he’s grown and developed and it blows my mind that he’s only been a part of this world for 5 months. Sometimes I feel like it’s been longer.
My daughter is 5 months and she never wake through the night from 2 months until now... I always enjoy my sleep but she's awake very early in the mornings tho.... she's now crawling by pushing on other objects sometimes she even use her forehead to support her to reach her destination.... she's also rolling over and grasping everything to put in her mouth n she giggles ALOT....
We working on tummy time and she suckling her thumb and Laughing now I can't believe she five months now she is a very happy baby 😊
My daughter starts eating at 4 months. Her nurse recommended it.
Why would u wean a 5 month old? Breast milk is their primary source of nutrition. Food before 1 is just for fun and a baby has an open gut until 6 months old.
Simply KeKe Weaning a child at this age strengthens their tongue muscles, this will help them learn to speak in the near future. It is also just really funny to little babies eat!
Open guy is not what you think it is. Especially if you read it on Kelly mom or whatever the fuck her name is.
By weaning I think they mean just introducing solid food. The recommendation is to breastfeed for 2 years now.
Shabana Maskatiya bull shit
My HV warned me off trying my son with stuff after I told her I had tried him on a bit of fruit puree at 4 months. He really enjoyed it lol but she told me it can trigger allergies later on so I haven't tried him since. I was just curious to know if he would like the flavour or not. It was literally a tiny bit on a spoon anyway.
My son started eating purée at 4 months 🤷🏽♂️ he loved it.
Sad
@@CraftLulz what's so sad about it seems like you have all the answers
Really sad @jennifer
Started my daughter at 4 months too n she LOVED it
All my babies have started at 4 months and they are happy and healthy
This video is great! Its so reassuring to see my baby hit all of his milestones and know what to expect.I posted a video of him babbling and laughing for the first time! He started weening and eating baby food a little early. Hes now teething, cooing ,babbling, smiling and laughing. Its amazing! Thank you for the videos..they are great!
My baby is 4 months n 3 week, is doing good in everything. He does rollover n weight 17 lb but he doesn’t sleep well he wake up every 2 to 3 hrs to feed. Hope soon he will start to sleep well n I m enjoying a lot to be first time mom.
My baby makes me feel cuddle him more at this age😁
My baby was 5 months on the 25th. She has rolled over 5x so far. She hates tummy time I'm a little worried she should be rolling more. She has good head control, sits with support well and is loving purees. Should I be worried about the rolling over.
My baby girl will complete 5 month on 3rd mar 2019, she doesnt enjoy tummy time and even she starts crying if left for 2 or 3 minutes in that position
Wow! my son was born 3 mar 2019 but he love tummy and even sitting without support but he does Not sleep through the night
My baby will be five months old in less than a week, and I am so psyched to have her start solids! She was born two weeks after her due date and seems to hit milestones a little early, so I am going to talk to her pediatrician tomorrow about starting her on solids. She's taller than most babies her age and has nursed once every hour during the day since she was less than a month old. It is hard on me (I have to eat like a horse to keep up!) so I welcome the extra calorie boost pureed foods might bring. And thank you for the suggestion, Channel Mum! I think I will look into classes on baby first aid.
Those babies are soooo cute, my baby is now 3months old and yet im so excited and checking other videos what to expect when he is in 4 months and 5 months old 😃😘 thanks so much for this vlogs ❤
My 5 month old likes to go to bed at 11 pm and wakeup at 10 or 11 am... I'm so confused cause she used to be a early sleeper. She would go to bed around 8 -9 pm but now I feel maybe it's just teething that is switching up her nightly schedule a bit??
Honestly i co slept with all my babies and they all slept good . Plus its just amazing
Taegan E Me too! I have been co-sleeping with my 5 month old since she was a newborn. She has slept through the night since she was 2 months old. She is a great sleeper. She even out herself on a schedule all by herself. 10pm to 7am. I love it!
it was the opposite for my baby. I hardly sleep through the night and I guess it was keeping baby up. put them in the crib and bam! baby slept through the night for the 1st time ever.
My 5 month old is so busy my gosh he dnt wanna sit down he always putting stuff in his mouth I dnt catch no break till it’s bed time an he sleeps through the night !
Omg same
I’m in a 3 am pj party with my son right now 😂 watching 5 month old mile stones cause he will be 5 months on the 11th! It’s the 4th today I’m just so excited
my child is now 5 months with the end of october ❤she doesn't sleep the night😪 she demands more milk especially at night😡she always puts 2 fingers in her mouth...
i realize Im quite off topic but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Cole Zev i use flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
My baby Aint even 5 months old till the 11th and she's been sleeping from 9pm to 9am since she was 3 months old 😁😂 and she's my first
How ?? Lol
IrishChick 12
What the hell? How?!
IrishChick 12 HOWW
Me too. Such a blessing
Well done you 🙄
Thank you very much,my baby is five months now
Baby is 5 months and one week and he is definitely meeting the milestones. He is able to sit without support and has two teeth at the bottom. He is still primarily breastfed, but I have started giving him solids for lunch and sometimes dinner. He is taking to them very well. I think I'll be able to fully weaned him by the end of 6 months. My only issue is, he is no longer sleeping through the night. From birth up to four and a half months, he slept perfectly and all through the night. But for the past few weeks now, he wakes up about two or three times a night. I'm not quite sure why, we haven't changed our nightly routine at all. So I'm not sure what to do differently. Any advice would be wonderful. Thank you.
My son is 5 months and 2 weeks old..and he throws up every time I give him baby food..so I dont think he's ready . He does well with rice and oatmeal in his milk.
My baby boy just turned 5 months on the 11th, he’s such a happy little boy, only gets grumpy when he wants a cuddle, hungry or ready to go up for his nap.. he’s slept through since being 3 months old (but we co-sleep, and I have done a lot of re-search before doing this as I was SO nervous, but it’s worked amazing for us!) and he has a Ella’s fruit pure small pouch around 1pm-2pm prune and mango are his favourite!
Love your videos so comforting to watch been watching them since giving birth to my daughter 5 months ago and they have helped so much.
i would just like to say thank u for these videos! i use them as oart of social stories for my son with autism, his dad has a new baby and they dont have contact with him yet. when they eventually do, i dont want it to be a shock for him.
i formula fed my children until 1 year old, and introduced solid at 6 months. u dont have to phase milk out if u dont want to
I love your videos, and now with my second baby we're rewatching your videos again
My baby is going to be 5 months old soon and she goes to sleep at 8 or 9 and wakes up 3 or 4 am. Its that okay or is she supposed to be sleeping more by now.
My son is above percentile for height and weight. At 4 months old he was the average height of the average 14 month old. He slept through from about 2 and a half months and then spent more or less all of his awake time drinking milk... that's why and the Health Visitors say a lot of things .. give it 3 years and they will probably have changed their minds again. It depends on who is getting paid from whom for what study
Our daughter turns 5 months at new years, she rolls over, may turn rotating sideways and scuff forward in tummy time. She started teething at 4 mounts and sleeps throw our night around 50% of the nights, a bit less since she started getting her first teethes. Not that god sitting yet, and have eaten some carrot pure from spoon/finger the other day, She eats quite fast and sometimes ask for more.
My son is not meeting milestones and won't sleep through the night he wakes up every 4 hours...I guess im looking for advice on how to help him.
Hi Caley. I dont know about the milestones but my son wakes up every 2hrs . They will get the hang of sleep eventually. 😀
Have you tried sleeping him on his front... they recommend you dont do this but you will find they sleep better and start knocking their milestone out better... rolling and belly crawling...
Also do a strict bed time routine..betwen 6 and 7 30 every night.. bath and do last feed with light off. If you need to feed again in the night keep it dark and no playing or eye contact. Then choose a wake up time... keep it the same every day... if it's dark out.. put the light on... baby should be sleeping through in two weeks... if your baby has decent head control sleeping them on their front really works but it's not recommended because it is said to increase the risk of cot death.. But this is what I have done for both my kids 10 years apart...
My baby is 4 months and 12 days old, he is able to roll a bit on his right but can't roll over completely. Is it normal if yes when should I expect him to roll over, sit and crawl?
My baby isn’t 5 months yet she’ll be 5 months on Saturday and she have been sitting up since she was 3and half months
Every baby is different and that's what a lot of these people commenting have forgotten
My daughter has just turned 5 months old today but she still can’t lift her head for long, she’s very wobbly.. is this normal?
she loves to try and pick herself up and she does roll to the side to grab things with her mouth..
Yusra Ali
Do you hold her a lot, do you allow her to be on floor? Babies need to strengthen themselves by allowing them to move on solid surfaces with a little cushion. Good Luck
My daughter is 5 mths old and start eating puree at 4mrhs she loves it she'll be 6mths August 4 . Yesterday she started shrugging her shoulders and tilting her head . Is this infantile spasms ?
My baby is five months she is have two teeth an she is sitting up getting up off her belly an sit up she even have more coming out at the top
My baby is 5 months this weekend. He’s been rolling back to belly for almost 2 months now, but can’t roll belly to back. He rolls onto his tummy in his sleep sometimes, then stresses so much because he can’t roll back. Sometimes he stresses so hard that he throws up. Swaddling/sleeping bags etc don’t stop him. Anyone got any tips or tricks to encourage him to roll belly to back??
Heather Mitchell my baby is 19 weeks and he is not rolling. He rolled twice at 16 weeks and nothing since then
Tummy time with a rolled up blanket under him, he will balance himself and roll off and teach himself how to roll. You have to sit by him and talk him through it and kinda help the first few times but worked for my son, he hated it at first but hes rolling both ways now!! Also,have him lay on the blanket during tummy time, at the edge. Slowly start lifting the blanket and showing him how to roll over by liftimg him with the blanket onto his side and onto his back. Slowly and gently. These are just some tips I was taught that worked great for me and hopefully will for you too!!! Good luck!
Just saw this was 4 months ago.. Im sure you did great and hes rolling now!! Lol..Sorry for the late reply
@@ameliab979 Hi! He is still not rolling. He is 23 weeks...but he likes now tummy time. I don't know if I should worry or accept that he is a little bit lazy.
Don't stress about it. I went crazy for weeks but my Dr said that my baby at 4 months was strong enough to reposition himself while on his tummy if he couldn't breathe.
My 5 month she just started sleeping though the but let me get anything done though the house
I would suggest you change the bit about weaning at 6 months. There are many women watching this that might wrongly take this advice. This is NOT recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics OR the World Health Organization. 6 months is when baby's starts trying solid foods (as an addition to the diet) but breast milk or formula is still the number one source of nutrition.
This might just be a language barrier thing - the term 'weaning' here in the UK means starting to try purées/BLW as complementary feeding - it doesn't mean completely switching to solid food. The recommendation here also is to continue milk as the main source of nutrition for the first year of life.
Found this channel because of that benefit giveaway but I'm so glad I did ! Super helpful and informative !! I've got a first aid course in December! Can't wait xxx
my dayghter sleeps through the night and now she wants to be on video games or on laptop. she is doin everything in this stage. soon she will be six months on the 8th and i have baby orajel already, fever reducer, and pain reliever for infants. im good to go
Actually wanting more milk is not a sign for weaning readiness according to the NHS website
The baby in the thumbnail looks like an OG😅👍
Mine is crying for ice cream at 4 month, tries to put my spoon in his mouth anytime am eating besides him,sleep less,he can even summersult and showing signs of creeping.
Try giving him soft food
My baby is 5 months old and she don't sleep more then 20 minutes .... I m so worried about her.... she don't sleep in cot at all....plz help if anyone knows any solution
Try giving her a bath and massage. Try making sure she naps everyday. Maybe a bedtime routine also? My Daughter will be 5 months on Sunday
@@rama2ray707 I tried all this but no improvement she only sleeps for 20 minutes which is nothing for baby.... then she is tired all the time
Sending lots of love from Lombok ~ Indonesia 💋🤍
Been watching your channel and love them all.
My baby is 5 m.o today and here i am watching your channel 🤩
Love this cute informational video
i have a question plzzz listen my baby is 5th months old but he did not had his head in his control what should i do
Shiraz Raza first meet your doctor as it seems there is a developmental delay than add lots of tummy time
Omg same here, and I do lots of tummy time but still my daughter doesn’t keep her head up for long
The best thing to do to help a baby strengthen thier neck is to sit the baby on you lap and sit them up with one hand holding there chest and the other hand massaging vertically on there back so they get a feel of what those muscles are for. i did it for both of my boys from birth and they are both really advanced ( doctors words not mines)
I love Channel mum. Thanks a lot!
❤
My just does his own thing all day. I just leave him there alone in his own room and I go work. He’s perfectly fine by the time I get back. I feed him when I come back.
mandeepsekhon I’m sorry... what did I just read? I sure hope he’s 7 yrs and not 5 months old... you’re pretty sick if you leave a 5 month old alone in his room the whole day.
I’m not one to judge someone’s parenting, but what if he were to get hurt or choke on something?? You wouldn’t be home to save him.. I hope there’s someone there for him when you leave
Similar things that my daughter does
Co-sleeping has worked for us.
My baby said dada at 4 months now she 5 today actually I really want her to sleep at night anyone have any advice
I'm a dad with a 5 month old and our baby girl has been sleeping through the night since 3 months. What I found is two things that worked. You must get them into a pattern a pattern that is the same every time. For example we found our little one doesn't like to be downstairs after about 530PM. So we take her upstairs and taught her patterns of what would happen once we were there. We fed her twice within the next two hours and trained her that the last feeding meant bedtime. We bought an Abreeze baby lounger from Amazon and put it between my wife and I. That thing is only about 50 bucks and worth every penny as it helped us to train her into the pattern of feeding then bed. We only put her into that bed when its bedtime. This allowed her to understand that once in there it was bedtime. I know some people talk about not co sleeping because it will cause issues down the road with the crib but just like this pattern the crib can be taught in increments. Our baby sleeps right through the night without issue. She feels safe and happy and I can tell you there is nothing like waking up in the middle of the night and looking over at your baby sound asleep.
I’m here as an aunt who takes care of her nephew
My daughter sleep through the night . But I need her to sleep in her bed
Why do you think a baby should be weaned at 5 months. That’s a horrible thing to do to a growing infant. I hope you do some research about this.
My baby is 5 months and 2 days and I just start to breast feed
can i still breastfeed at six monthes?
erik motz yes please do
Yes 🙂
Well my daughter is eating and crawling and trying to stand up and by the way I breastfeed her but she’s very active
Have you introduced solids already
My first bby boy just turned 5months. Still a hand full😶 N eats ALOT
Have you introduced solids already?
Nice .video
6 mths? The WHO says 1 year...
1 year is a bit late
More laughs giggles and mimic😜
This is incredibly outdated information
My baby now is 5 month old but she is not yet siting its fine if i put her in trouley walker?? 😯
Thank u
Weaning?? Okay, nope. That is ridiculous!! Studies have shown that more breastmilk the better even with purees and BLW.
I have a 5 month old baby how can I teach him to crawl
How can I get him to sleep in his crib he won't sleep in there. Just in my bed and another question how can I teach him to sit up
Does weaning mean something different in the UK than here I the states cause.... you should breast feed your baby for as long as possible. You give baby food on top of breast milk. Odd
it says that ..........
My name is Bill Edward Messerly please help me my baby hair grow Long hair whole bunch of hair don't cut it off said no like Long hair like little girl hair for boy hair
Bill Messerly what????
Breast feed your baby as long as you want that is the best milk for babies.
Jesus Christ Charlie is hot.
U very fast my Sis ain't u touching us..jouuu
There is no reason a four month old baby shouldn’t be sleeping through the night. Or at least have the ability to sleep through the night. If they’re not sleeping through the night it’s because they need to be “trained” to do so. Routines, sometimes the Ferber method works if you’re okay with it, etc. there are ways. But basically/virtually all four month olds can sleep through the night. If they wake up for a nighttime feed it’s either cause they’re not eating enough before bed or because they just want you. As much as that seems sweet(cause it is) y’all gonna be sleep deprived as fuck if you don’t teach baby to sleep through the night soon. And being sleep deprived doesn’t allow you to be the best mom you could ever be. 🤷♀️
Flower Annan My 5 month old wakes up 4-5 times at nights to feed and actually drinks a lot. He must be hungry?! How can you train them not to get hungry?!
Yes how to train them? Pls help
same question I have ,my twin boys are 5 month old and they sleep near 1 o clock and till 7,8 of morning they wake up 3,4 time for feed , kindly tell how to train
MsNeela1 every baby is different- some babies sleep all night and others don’t. This is perfectly normal.
Flower Annan sleep train a 4 month old??? Are you serious? Every baby is different. Some sleep all night and others don’t. My baby goes to bed at 730 and wakes up at midnight for milk and again at 530am for a second milk. This is perfectly normal. He is on solids and still wakes up for night feedings. My mother in law said my husband was a big eater and he eventually outgrew it.
No way I am weaning my 5 month old, da fuk.
Weaning at 6 months?! What kind of BS propaganda is this sh*?! Omg
I'm sorry but why don't you have more diversity?
Because it's England. Go away.
@@HavingAGreenDay That makes absolutely no sense buttmunch! Why don't you go somewhere and culture yourself!
