Progression of the senses

For children 5 months old, the world will become more alive with the development of taste and vision. These are also two main senses that help your baby discover everything around when entering this stage.

Baby will put everything in her mouth. Because the mouth is the most concentrated place for nerve endings in the body, this will be a great organ to help the baby absorb senses when contact with objects around him. Occasionally, mothers will see babies licking the walls, dining chairs or trying to put their hands and feet in their mouth.

Baby is practicing to sit
