There is a standard indicator for the development and growth of babies. Parents all hope that their babies will not fall behind other children in anything, but it is also not good to do it too early. There is a scientific reason for flipping and sitting three times and six times, and healthy babies will naturally improve at this stage. Although parents' early training may seem fine, it may not necessarily be good for the baby's development. Is it okay for a four month old baby to sit down?
Is it okay for a four month old baby to sit down
It is recommended not to let the baby start sitting so early, as the second physiological curvature of the baby's spine and waist should be formed at 6 months, and sitting currently has an impact on the child's growth and development. Generally, children can start sitting appropriately after 5 months, but be careful not to sit for too long each time. Normally, children will learn to sit alone for a short time at 6 months. Children usually exhibit developmental characteristics of liking to sit and having the ability to sit around 7 months old.
How to help babies practice sitting
1. At around 5 months old, parents can hold their children and sit for a while, or use pillows to help them try sitting alone.
2. When the child can sit with their hands supporting their body, parents can place some toys that attract them by their side, encouraging them to use their hands to hold the toys, and also increasing the baby's ability to learn to balance themselves
3. At around 7 months old, the time spent sitting alone can be extended to give the baby time to learn how to sit.
4. Pay attention to your sitting position, as there is a possibility of sudden tilting, and be careful of the height of the chair or whether you are sitting next to the bed.
A four month old baby's bones are still very soft, and sitting too early can easily cause hunchback. These abilities of the baby are natural. As long as the baby is healthy, parents don't have to worry, wait for the baby to give you one surprise after another. You can record all the baby's first crawling, first turning over, first sitting, and so on, and it will be a wonderful memory in the future.
