5 months old's development

Does your lb holds his food in his hand? I see Troy is 5 months and 3 weeks now.
I can't really imagine Franco holding a biscuit in his hand and eating it... Are they supposed to try and eat on their own on this age?
Maybe I should try it this weekend.
Franco is at a daycare during the day and I don't get to have quality time with him during the week...

Many babies only sit at 6 months so no worries.

If you are using a bumbo chair only use it for very short periods of time as it can inhibit muscle development.

Tummy time is best to encourage muscle strengthe and you can bounce baby on a gym ball which strengthens their core muscles.

No problem

Veggies - sweet potatoe/butternut/carrots/avo/gem squash
Fruit - banana/guava/apple/pears

And do combo's like sweet pot & apple, carrot & pear etc. Troy loves that. He won't eat butternut or sweet pot on it's own.

Try changing the porridge flavour now and see how he takes to it.

I also give Troy some full cream organic strawberry yogurt in his porridge or on its own. Loves it.

He loves pieces of dried mango and teething biscuits.

Ok, now I feel better.
What veggies can I start off with? When can I change his porridge flavour?
Sorry for all the questions but this is my first lo and have no clue what to do first...

I wouldn't worry about the sitting. Some babies only sit on their own at 8/9 months!

Make sure he is getting tummy time - 20 minutes or so a day.

Try the fruit/veg and if he is ready he will eat it. Maybe mix the fruit with his cereal? Troy loves banana/apple/pear etc in his porridge.

Hi all!

My little boy is 5 months old and not sitting yet. I'm just afraid that he's not developing correctly. Can you please share your babies' development with me?
Which exercises should I let him do?
I was also wondering if I could start with veggies and fruits. Currently he's just getting 1tbs of rice porridge per day.
