I believe most parents would be puzzled by their baby's sleeping position, wondering why their calves do not straighten out when lying flat, but instead show an inward curve. And some new parents may even worry that this will affect their baby's future leg shape, and even raise questions, so, is the baby's calf bone curvature normal?
Actually, it is normal for babies to have bent leg bones. Because when the baby is in the womb, their legs also show a bent state. Long term habits can lead to the same phenomenon in babies for a longer period of time after birth. Parents don't need to worry, as this condition will gradually subside as the baby grows. However, parents should still pay more attention to the supplementation of trace elements in their babies, and there is no need to rush to teach them how to walk. Because if you are too eager to let your baby learn to walk earlier, their bones will deform due to the pressure of their own gravity before they have fully grown, such as the hoop legs.
In addition, parents should pay more attention to supplementing their babies with trace elements such as calcium appropriately. Because during the growth process, calcium is the most important requirement for the baby's body, and calcium deficiency can lead to stunted growth, delayed development, and in severe cases, rickets to a certain extent. So during the baby's growth stage, it is recommended that parents can boil more bone soup for the baby to drink, or eat some dairy products, exercise more, and bask in the sun.
