Is it normal for a two month old baby to have bent legs?

Many mothers do not bind the legs of babies when they are two months old. Now the country does not advocate binding the legs of babies because many parents do not control the strength well when binding the legs of babies, which will cause damage to the baby's muscles and may cause the baby's developmental deformity. Babies can easily have bent legs because they often wear diapers. So is it normal for a two-month-old baby to have bent legs?

Don't worry about the problem of bent legs. It's because the baby was curled up in the mother's belly before birth. The two legs will be bent because they keep the same posture for a long time. In addition, the baby will feel safer when curling up. Generally, the legs will gradually become straight after birth to about two years old. Some babies may even have X-shaped legs. The baby doesn't like to sleep and wakes up easily. This is because of calcium deficiency. Supplement vitamin AD once in the morning and calcium once in the afternoon. AD and calcium must be supplemented together to be effective. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption. Otherwise, it is useless to simply supplement calcium. No matter how much calcium is supplemented, it is not absorbed well.

It is normal for babies to have slightly bent calves. Family members should regularly press the baby's legs in the correct direction. If the bend is severe, the baby's calves can be straightened with cloth strips, but the time should not be too long. As long as you gently press your baby's legs frequently and place them correctly, there should be no problem.

Let’s see if it’s normal for babies to have their legs bent. The so-called normal is that for young babies, the muscles attached to the long bone on the inside of the calf (we call it the tibia) are thinner than those on the outside, so at first glance, the baby's calves appear a little bent, which is really an illusion; in addition, children around 1 year old have slightly bent legs, and X-rays also show bent calf bones, but there are no X-ray manifestations of rickets. This is because the children at this time have just started to walk, and their legs cannot bear their own body weight well, so the calves are temporarily bent. Generally, they will return to normal by the age of 2 to 3, and X-rays also show that the original bending of the calf bones has been corrected. We consider both situations to be normal. The so-called abnormal means that the baby suffers from severe rickets. Due to calcium deficiency, the bones become thin and softened. When the child stands or walks, the lower limbs cannot bear weight and the calves become bent. This is what we call "o"-shaped legs and "x"-shaped legs. For children with bow legs, the degree of curvature of their legs is more serious than normal. During the examination, the two ankle joints are brought together, and the two knee joints are often separated and cannot be brought together, with a gap of more than 3 cm between the two knees. In "X"-shaped legs, the knees are close together but the ankles cannot be close together, and the distance between the two ankles is more than 3 cm. The X-ray shows not only bent calf bones, but also other characteristic manifestations of rickets. Therefore, this type of calf curvature should be considered abnormal. It should be said that with the popularization of health care knowledge, most of the calf bending in infants is a normal phenomenon, and the calf bending caused by rickets is a minority after all. How to make your baby's legs more beautiful? The most common cause of "O-shaped legs" or "X-shaped legs" is a lack of vitamin D.
