Your 5-week-old baby may start to smile when you play with her. You may also notice that her random jittery movements are starting to go away. During regular tummy time, she can probably hold her head up for longer periods as well. Take note that your newborn daughter is an individual so her 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 her scalp with baby oil or petroleum jelly an hour before shampooing; this helps loosen the scales. When you’re ready to wash her 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 in her eyes.
- As your 5-week-old baby is starting to sleep for longer periods, try establishing a routine. She won’t stick to a schedule just yet, but it’s for your own good - you need the rest. To encourage sleep and teach her to doze off on her own, put her to bed when she’s awake but sleepy, give her milk under dimmed lights, and refrain from playing or talking.
