Starting from leaving the warm uterus, babies will gradually become familiar with this world and explore it. Baby will learn and master some skills while familiarizing and exploring. However, some babies may take some detours during the learning process and make mistakes. For example, some babies may not walk normally. Let me explain why babies walk on the outer side of one foot.
Why does a baby walk on the outer side of one foot
1. First, check if there are any changes in the baby's shoes (feel them with your hands). The baby's skin is very tender, may there be some kind of diaphragm or if the baby's shoes are too small, causing discomfort when walking.
2. Take a look at the baby's feet and see if there are any damages. (Don't be careless, toenails) If there is any discomfort in the baby's feet, it will also make the baby walk abnormally. This is the same principle as adults caring for pain.
3. Baby's imitation ability is quite strong now. Carefully observe whether the baby is imitating someone's walking or intentionally. At this time, be patient and reason with him. At this time, the baby is a bit rebellious. The more you don't let him do it, the more he wants to do it. If he still can't do it, go to a health hospital for consultation.
How to train a baby to walk correctly
1. Starting from crawling: Crawling can exercise the tension and strength of the baby's leg muscles, develop body coordination and flexibility, and be beneficial for learning to walk. Therefore, parents should regularly encourage and induce their baby to crawl on the floor or hard mats.
2. Embrace less, walk more, explore freely: Do not hold your baby tightly or trap them in one place. Baby should be given more opportunities for free movement, encouraged to wander around and explore. Clean up clutter and items that are prone to accidents, giving babies a safe space. When a baby falls while learning to walk, the mother should provide comfort and encouragement to give the baby a sense of security.
3. Walking training: Let the baby move in an environment where they can walk, such as supporting walls, sofas, coffee tables, beds, railings, walking carts, and lightweight stools. Parents can also hold the baby's arm behind them, driving him to step forward and gradually transition to holding one of the baby's arms and letting him walk on his own. They can use commands to stimulate the baby's interest. Parents are advised not to use walkers that put their babies in the middle for their children, as excessive standing and walking can be harmful to the baby.
Babies learn instinctively from being able to lie down, sit up, crawl, and finally walk, and even run and jump flexibly. In general, parents do not need to deliberately care and pay attention. But if the baby makes some mistakes during the learning process, parents need to guide the baby to correct them in a timely manner.
