Growth

  • Your 5-week-old baby may start to smile when you play with him. You may also notice that his random jittery movements are starting to go away. During regular tummy time, he can probably hold his head up for longer periods as well. Take note that your newborn son is an individual so his progress may differ from other five-week-old babies.

What to expect

  • Your 5-week-old baby may begin to sleep longer - perhaps up to six hours - during nights. Good times. 

  • About half of all babies develop cradle cap - an oily, yellowish, scaly skin rash that occurs on the scalp, which may appear during the 5th week. It’s commonly harmless condition that eventually clears up after several weeks or months.

Some tips

  • To ease cradle cap, massage his scalp with baby oil or petroleum jelly an hour before shampooing; this helps loosen the scales. When you’re ready to wash his head, rinse it first, gently scrub the scalp with a soft-bristle brush to take out the scales, then wash the scalp with baby shampoo. Just make sure you avoid getting shampoo into his eyes.

  • As your 5-week-old baby is starting to sleep for longer periods, try establishing a routine. He won’t stick to a schedule just yet, but it’s for your own good - you need the rest. To encourage sleep and teach him to doze off on his own, put him to bed when he’s awake but sleepy, then feed him under dimmed lights, and refrain from playing or talking.
