Question
A baby who is just over five months old, with a height of 68 centimeters and a weight of 16 jin, the parent wants to know what the intellectual development standards are for a five-month-old baby?
Answer
A baby’s development is a continuous process that is not yet fully mature. Generally, a baby’s development follows the pattern of “by two months, they raise their head; by four months, they turn over; by six months, they can sit up; by seven months, they can roll over; by eight months, they can crawl; and by one year, they can walk.” For a baby approaching six months old, it may be time for the first milk teeth to emerge, so parents should pay attention to checking the baby’s blood routine, bone density levels, and trace elements to determine if appropriate calcium supplements and cod liver oil are needed. Additionally, at six months old, babies can start introducing complementary foods. Parents should gradually supplement them and regularly visit the doctor to adjust feeding plans.
