Babies are born without the ability to walk and can only lie down. However, in the next few months, babies will gradually learn to look up, turn over, sit, and crawl. After the child's legs have sufficient strength, they can stand and walk. So, what is the reason for poor lower limb support in an 11 month old baby?
If an 11 month old baby has poor lower limb support, it is likely due to poor growth and development, lack of activity, and calcium deficiency. Moreover, when a child's hip joint is abnormal, there may also be issues with poor lower limb support. If parents suspect that it is a hip joint problem, they can go to the hospital for X-ray examination, and it is best to also check for trace elements. If it is a hip joint abnormality, early intervention should be carried out to correct the child in a timely manner.
If the bones and muscles in the baby's legs lack strength, parents can also take the baby for exercise. The exercise method is for the mother to kneel on both knees and then have the baby stand at the base of her thighs. At this point, the mother needs to hold the child's knee joint with both hands to ensure that the child's legs can be straightened. The mother slowly knelt up, allowing the child's body to form an arch, which can exercise the strength of the legs.
Parents can also play the game of stepping on paper balls with their babies. First, knead a paper ball with newspaper, then tie it to a rope and let the mother pull it away, while the father helps the child step on the paper ball from behind. This can exercise children's leg strength and promote the coordinated development of their eyes, feet, and brain.
