What should I do if my three-month-old baby can't straighten his legs?

The baby's physical development is very important, and these developments are reflected in the baby's height and shape. Therefore, parents can observe whether the baby is growing healthily from the baby's appearance. However, some babies have many problems in physical development and their legs have poor shape. For example, what should we do if a three-month-old baby can't straighten his legs? Let's take a look at the explanation below, I hope you can understand it.

In fact, all newborns are like this. Because the fetus is curled up in the mother's womb with its legs bent and adducted, many babies are born with inward-bent calves or O-shaped legs. Therefore, the "frog legs" condition of most newborns is not due to any disease, but rather a temporary physiological bend.

The baby's leg shape does have physiological characteristics, but parents should not ignore leg deformities caused by external factors and disease factors. Calcium deficiency can indeed cause babies to have bow legs, but in addition to this, the following 5 wrong behaviors can also cause baby's legs to be deformed. For example:

It is wrong to want to use "leg bandages" or "candle wraps" to prevent bow legs and shape the legs! This method will neither prevent bow legs nor make the legs straight. On the contrary, it is not good for the development of the baby's hip joints and can easily affect the blood circulation of the limbs. If it is tied too tightly, there may be a risk of amputation.

2. Forced leg pulling

Don't try to straighten your baby's legs for the sake of a so-called perfect leg shape, as this can easily cause the legs to dislocate.

If babies use walkers for a long time, it will cause lower limb deformities, easily develop inversion or valgus habits, and there will be a risk of sprains and falls. It is recommended that parents do not rely too much on walkers to let their babies learn to walk. The healthiest way is to let children practice crawling more. On the one hand, it can exercise the coordination of the limbs, and on the other hand, it can better exercise the leg muscles. When the baby can naturally stand with the help of the wall, he will be not far from learning to walk.
