Baby cervical spine development

When babies are very young, their bodies are often not fully developed. However, the baby's cervical spine is constantly developing, and it is important to note that if the child is too young, no unexpected problems with the cervical spine should occur. Therefore, children’s cervical spine needs to be protected from an early age. During the baby's physical development, we should pay attention to some matters. What should be done about the baby's cervical spine development?

Development of cervical spine in full-month-old baby

The development of the spine can be directly observed to determine whether the baby can lift his head and how long he can lift it. However, the baby’s bed should not be too soft. The baby is still young, so the impact should not be that big. Just pay attention to it later.

It is best not to hold the baby upright within three months, as it is not good for the baby's spinal development. The spine of a baby is almost vertical, but the normal adult spine is shaped like an "S".

How to prevent your baby's spine from curvature

1. Babies aged six or seven months should not be allowed to sit for a long time, otherwise it is easy to form spinal curvature. It is recommended to sit and lie down every day, and try to sit as much as possible;

2. Let your baby sleep on a hard bed as much as possible, so that the spine of the back and waist can effectively support the body and better maintain the physiological curvature of the spine;

3. Try to avoid your baby walking barefoot, especially in summer and warm seasons, as cold feet will cause and aggravate pain in the lower limbs and lumbar spine;

4. When riding in a car, it is best not to let your baby doze off on the backrest of the front seat for a long time, as this is also bad for the health of the spine;

5. Use baby slings with caution. Baby slings will keep the baby in a vertical position, which is too demanding for the baby's spine. The vertical position will cause the spine to be compressed and twisted.

6. Don’t hold your baby in your arms while he or she sleeps, as this will keep the spine bent for a long time, which will affect its normal development.

Now that everyone understands the development of the cervical spine in full-month babies, you can make a comparison in your life. The cervical spine of a one-month-old baby is not fully developed, so when holding the baby, be careful not to hold him vertically. You cannot let the spine of a one-month-old baby be in a vertical position, which is not good for the spine. In addition, the baby’s bed should not be too thick. A harder bed is very helpful for the baby’s spinal development.
