      Let the baby sit up and walk too early

      Some young parents always want to let their children sit, stand, and walk too early, which is detrimental to the growth and development of infants and young children. The spine of a newborn baby is very straight.

      Newborns will raise their heads at 3 months of age and the first curvature of the spine will appear; Can sit at 6 months and develops second curvature of spine ; At 12 months, he can stand and walk, and the third curve of his spine appears.

      These bends constitute normal physiological curves. baby Being helped to sit too early will cause hunchback, that is, shoulder protrusion.; Being helped to stand too early will cause posterior protrusion of the buttocks, that is, protruding buttocks ; Walking too early can cause lower limb deformities and bow legs.

      The bones of infants and young children contain more colloids and less calcium. Their bones are soft and easily deformed. Especially the muscles of the lower limbs and the small muscle groups of the arches of the feet are not fully developed. If they learn to walk too early, the weight of the body will be supported entirely by the two legs, and the center of gravity will fall on the soles of the feet. Over time, the legs will be easily bent, and flat feet will easily develop. Therefore, infants and young children should not sit, stand, or walk early.
