Why can't a 1-year-old baby stand alone?

Most children can stand when they are one year old, but this is not absolute. Every child has different physical fitness. Some babies have slightly worse physical fitness, so it is normal for them not to be able to stand when they are one year old, so parents should relax.

1. What’s the matter with the baby who is one year old and still can’t stand alone?

About half of children can learn to walk alone at around 1 year old, but there are great individual differences among children, which mainly depends on the child's muscle strength, balance and coordination ability and personality. in. A child's personality has the greatest influence on whether he or she starts walking early or late. Children who are more impulsive and like to exercise walk earlier; children who are gentler in temperament and cautious about major issues walk later. In addition, in winter, children wear more clothes and start walking later. You can train your baby to stand alone at ordinary times: parents can put the furniture in a circle and let the child walk with one hand holding the furniture. Once he becomes more skilled, increase the distance between the furniture. Parents can also hold their children's hands with both hands and let them walk forward slowly, then slowly let go of one hand, and then let go of the other hand. In addition, give more encouragement and praise in daily life.

2. Exercise your baby more often, let him crawl by himself, let him stand alone in the crib, and you can also give your baby appropriate calcium supplements. Let the baby get more sun exposure. Parents should not hold the baby all the time. Let the baby move around in the crib more often.

3. My child is almost one year old, but still can’t stand alone. Why?

Two things to note:

First, not too much calcium will limit bone growth! Calcium supplementation must be scientific and appropriate.

Second, the calcium supplement may not be fully absorbed, as calcium is the most difficult to absorb.

Based on these two points, it is best to go to the hospital to check whether you are calcium deficient or taking too much.

In addition, children should be held less and exercised more to walk. Children are always held, so they are not very good at crawling and walking.

4. Every baby’s situation is different. Don’t be envious when you see other babies already walking. My baby didn’t take steps until he was 13 months old. He refused to walk before that, and I didn’t force him. Especially babies who can crawl walk slower because they have dependence and crawl more steadily. This is the child’s self-protection instinct. When he wants to move more widely, he will start to figure out how to walk. Moreover, babies who learn to walk by themselves will walk most steadily in the future. Give your baby some time, be patient, and you will be surprised! I believe the baby will be able to walk very steadily by then, I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to catch up with him.
