Seven month old baby can't stand

Babies learn their various physiological functions gradually. They have a certain degree of self-learning ability and can learn according to the habits of adults. Sometimes they will surprise adults inadvertently. However, some movements need to be learned under the supervision of parents because they are too dangerous and may cause injuries if the baby performs them on his own. So, what are the reasons why seven-month-old babies can't stand?

After the baby has gone through the process of motor development such as lifting his head, sitting, rolling over, and crawling, he should slowly transition to learning to stand. Standing not only develops motor functions, but also promotes the baby's intellectual development. So how old can a baby start learning to stand? When is the best time for a baby to learn to stand? Let's find out below.

Generally speaking, babies aged 10-12 months are able to stand on their own for a while and crawl quickly. This is the best time for babies to learn to stand. After the baby is 10 months old, he enters two critical periods in terms of gross muscle movement: standing alone and walking alone. This period is a leap in the development of the baby's body balance ability, and it is also an important period for the coordinated development of the baby's body and limbs. Parents can help the baby learn to stand at this time.

It's a leap for a baby to go from lying on his back to being able to stand up. Some parents often hold their 3-4 month old babies to learn to sit or even stand. In fact, sitting or standing too early is extremely detrimental to the healthy growth of the baby.

Children's bones contain more organic matter and relatively less inorganic salts, so they are less hard, more elastic, and easier to deform. In addition, the cartilage discs between the baby's vertebrae are relatively thick, while the ligaments on the outside are relatively loose, so forcing oneself to sit or stand for long periods of time can easily lead to spinal deformities. At the same time, learning to walk too early not only easily causes bending deformity of the baby's lower limbs, but also the radial head subluxation is easy to occur in the little elbow joints pulled by the parents.
