As we all know, newborn babies cannot walk yet and need to be held by their parents. Many parents have questions about how to hold their babies. The older generation has told us from experience that babies cry when held horizontally and behave when held vertically. However, the elders have also warned that if the child is still young, holding it upright may be bad for the baby's spine. So, at what age can a baby be held upright? In this regard, people who have experienced it will tell you the truth!
First of all, let me tell you that the spine of a newborn baby is a straight line. As the child grows up, the arc gradually forms. When a baby is very young, the spine is very soft. At this time, if you do not pay attention to the cultivation of some postures of the baby, it is easy for the baby to develop a curved spine. Therefore, it is best not to hold babies under two months in an upright position.
Because at this time, the baby's ability to raise his head and chest is not very strong. If he is forcibly held upright, it may affect the baby's spine and cause damage to the baby's spine. So, when can we hold our baby? In fact, this time is not fixed. If the baby's ability to raise his head and chest is better, and his desire to explore the surrounding things becomes stronger, we can hold the baby and go out for a look. However, we must pay attention to the fact that the time when holding the baby must not be It's too long, and you can't hold it too tightly.
If we must standardize a time, I think it should be at least 3 months. Only babies over 3 months old can be held vertically. There are two ways to hold the baby vertically. One is to let the baby lie on the adult's shoulders, and then the adult holds the baby's head and holds it with his hands. Drag the baby's waist and hips, and then let the baby's spine form a straight line, so as to better protect the baby's head, waist and back.
The second method is to let the baby's face face outward and hold the baby's back and legs with your hands. This will also help exercise the baby's sitting posture and spine.
Parents may feel a little unfamiliar and nervous when they first hold their baby in an upright position. If the baby moves around again, it may easily cause some dangers. So we can use a holding stool to protect the baby. Hang the stool on your chest and hold your baby like a bag. In this way, not only can the baby be held more safely, but it can also save adults a lot of energy!
In short, everyone just needs to keep one thing in mind. When we hold the baby, we must be gentle in our movements. We must not be careless and injure the baby's spine, which may have a great impact on the baby's life!
