The child is more than eight months old and cannot sit. His neck bone is very soft.

Because babies are not very developed right after birth, they are often lying down or held in their parents’ arms. They cannot sit up, but as time goes by, they will be able to sit up by themselves. However, some parents find that their babies are eight months old but still cannot do it. Is it because of unhealthy bone development? Here are some explanations for these things, I hope they can help you resolve your doubts.

1. Why does my child who is over eight months old not know how to sit and has a soft neck bone?

Each of my babies develops differently. Babies can basically sit up on their own at seven or eight months old, and then slowly start to crawl. If the baby's body is still very soft at this time, the first thing to consider is whether the baby is calcium deficient. You can supplement your baby with some calcium, such as Diqiao calcium carbonate d3 granules. Cod liver oil can also promote calcium absorption, and you can get more sun exposure. Then you can let your baby sit on the sofa for a short while every day. Gradually, your baby should be able to sit and play by himself.

2. How to judge whether the eight-month-old baby's development indicators are qualified

1. Overview of Motor Development

Sitting: The baby can sit up without support and sit very steadily. He can sit alone for several minutes and play at the same time. He can turn his upper body freely from side to side without falling down.

Crawling: At the beginning, babies crawl in three stages. Some children crawl backwards, some spin in place, and some crawl forward. These are all part of the crawling process. Once the baby's limbs are well coordinated, he can stand up and crawl on his hands and knees, with his head and neck raised and his chest and abdomen off the bed.

Rolling over: As his trunk muscles gradually strengthen, he will eventually learn how to roll over into a prone position and back to an upright position. Now he can turn over at will, and he will turn over if he is not careful, and can turn from prone to supine position, or from supine to prone position. So never leave your child alone at any time.

If you talk to a child very kindly, he will be happy; if you scold him, he will cry. From this point of view, children at this age have begun to understand other people's feelings. They like to be held by adults. When adults stand in front of them and greet them with open arms, the children will smile and stretch out their hands to show that they want to be held.

3. Overview of cognitive development

He will smile when adults praise him and show grievance when adults scold him.
