How old can a baby sit on a waist stool?

Generally, babies can sit after they are six months old. At this time, many mothers will bring a waist stool when taking their babies out to play, so that mothers can free their hands. How old is the normal age for a baby to sit on a waist stool? There is no strict rule. It is best to consider the height and development of your own baby. Every baby will learn to sit in a different time. It is best to wait until the baby can sit more steadily before using a waist stool.

Experts explain what size waist stool is suitable for babies

To put it simply, a waist stool is a baby holding tool similar to a stool hung on the waist, so the baby sits on it. How many months the waist stool can be used depends on the baby's physical development. Although the usage time is different in the product manuals of waist stools on the market, most of them are recommended for infants aged 4 months to 3 years and weighing less than 25KG. So what is the actual situation?

According to medical research, most Chinese babies are currently lying down when they are 0-4 months old. This is because the baby's waist and cervical spine are in the development stage at this stage. After 4 months, the baby's waist and cervical spine have mostly developed to a certain maturity stage. Think about it, when our baby is more than 3 months and almost 4 months old, the baby's head can stand up, and the baby can also be held upright. According to common sense, the baby can use a waist stool at this time.

But in real life, the baby's development is affected by many external factors, and each baby's development is also uneven. Some babies may develop later, so if you want to use a waist stool, it will naturally be a few months later. Even for a baby with normal development, if you want to be safer, you can postpone its use until the baby is 6 months old. For 4-month-old babies whose heads can be held upright and who can be held upright, you can also use a waist stool, but try to minimize the usage time. You can hold the baby horizontally for a while, and then use a waist stool for a while. As the baby grows, the usage time of the waist stool can also increase. Generally, by 6 months, there is no need to worry about this problem.
