Is it OK for a baby to stand up too early?

After the baby is born, the mother will definitely wonder sometimes when the baby can stand up and walk, when the baby can talk, because many mothers are anxious and hope that the baby can grow up quickly. So when the baby is two or three months old, some mothers can't wait to let the baby stand up. So the question is, is it good for the baby to stand up too early?

Just as the mother worries, standing too early does have a great impact on the baby's development.

It is a gradual process for a baby to go from lying, sitting, crawling, standing to walking, so don't rush it. Many parents, especially the older generation, feel proud that their baby can stand at a very young age, or they like to hold the baby under the armpits and play with him. This is very dangerous. The old saying "roll over at three, sit up at six, roll at seven, crawl at eight, and walk at twelve" is summarized based on the sensitive period of infant development and growth. It makes sense. Every baby's physical development is different. When his body develops to the point where he can stand, he will stand up naturally, so there is no need for special training.

Training your baby to sit, stand, and walk too early will cause a certain degree of damage to the baby's spine and legs. Some babies develop bow legs due to standing up too early. As the old saying goes, it means they stand before their bones have grown hard.

Some parents are anxious. Seeing that babies of the same age can stand, walk and talk, they feel that their babies are a little behind, so they want to train their babies. Some use walkers, while others tie a cloth belt under the baby's armpits and lead the baby to walk forward. This training method is actually not scientific and can easily cause harm to the baby's health.

So when can the baby stand? Parents can observe. If the baby can stand up by himself without their support, with the entire sole of the foot and the heel touching the ground, then he can stand by himself. Generally, babies start to try to stand on their own around October months old, and some babies with delayed development may need to wait even longer. The child has grown well and can stand and walk. If you don't let him stand or walk, he will be unhappy, right? Parents should not give any guidance to their baby's development, just let it take its course naturally.
