After the baby is born, the growth and development of bones will accelerate. At this time, babies may inevitably experience inward bending of leg bones, such as "O-shaped legs" and "X-shaped legs", which are quite common. In addition to supplementing with appropriate calcium supplements, it is also the best stage for correcting calf curvature in babies. So, how to correct a baby's leg curvature?
1. Normal phenomena of physiological development. The process of lower limb development in babies, with bent calves, is normal for their skeletal development. During pregnancy, due to the narrow space, the baby's lower leg may experience inward curvature, which many parents believe is due to abnormal bone development. However, this is a normal phenomenon and does not require treatment.
2. Fix the wooden board. When babies are learning to walk, the bending of their legs becomes more pronounced. Some babies will basically correct themselves after three weeks, but many parents are afraid that this will delay their baby's treatment. Therefore, it is recommended to fix the bent part of the calf with a wooden board after the baby falls asleep. Just pay attention to maintaining blood circulation in the calf, and if necessary, damage to other parts is sufficient.
3. Treat ligament laxity. Some babies' ligament laxity can lead to leg bending, which is actually caused by the development of the baby's body. Parents can take their babies to bask in more sunlight, supplement calcium supplements, and do some simple exercises to help with ligament development.
