Week 5 can feel like a real shift, your baby is no longer quite so sleepy and is starting to engage more with the world around them. You might notice more purposeful eye contact, stronger reactions to your voice and those first real smiles that melt you instantly. Feeding can still be frequent, with occasional fussy spells that seem to come out of nowhere. Sleep is still inconsistent, but your baby’s patterns and cues may be easier to read. It is a stage where your little one feels more “present,” and your bond continues to deepen in a very real way.
