After having a baby, what is Bao's mother most worried about? Of course, the baby can't grow too slow! The mothers gathered together, and the most discussed is: My treasure has only been more than 4 months, and recently we can sit on our own! Home too! The small waist is quite straight! Our family is almost seven months old, still sitting unsteadily, and dying of anxiety!
Looking at the performance of "other people’s children", the growth and development of our baby I feel more anxious. Is my baby developing late? When can my baby sit independently? How should I help my baby learn to sit?
First of all, we need to know that what we call sitting is not just sitting It’s not sitting, these are not real sitting! Why are “relying on sitting” and “supporting sitting” not “real sitting”? How can a baby be considered sitting?
别急着让宝宝“硬坐”
First of all, we need to know and remember this: The baby has the ability to turn over, sit, climb, stand, walk, etc., which is a gradual and natural thing in the development process .
Normally, only when the baby has fully learned and mastered the movements of the previous stage, he is ready to learn the next movement.
However, "climbing" is quite special. Some babies may not crawl all the time, which is normal, so the baby will not crawl, and Mommy does not need to worry too much.
Therefore, if the baby is not proficient in lying down and turning over, he is eager to find success and let the baby learn to sit. This will not help the baby's growth. His spine, lumbar spine, etc. caused certain damage.
Give your baby a little more time, let the baby follow his own development rules, and slowly master these skills. If you want your baby to learn to sit, you need to let your baby learn skills such as lying down and turning over.
Respect for differences, every baby is different
We often say that babies can learn to sit slowly when they are about six months old, but this is not It means that all babies can do it, and we must respect individual differences.
Different babies also have great individual differences in the development process of big movements. It is normal for some babies to learn to sit until nine months old.
As long as the baby learns to sit within this stage, and his other growth and development indicators are also normal, under normal circumstances, mothers do not need to worry too much.
From wanting to sit up to being proficient in sitting, the baby will roughly go through 3 stages:
1, sitting by
Month age: about 5-6 Month’s baby
If the baby has the desire to turn over and sit up, then Bao’s mother can try to put a pillow or cushion on the baby’s waist to support him, and let the baby sit for a while. However, if the baby loses his balance and falls down soon after leaning, it means that the baby's body does not have the ability to lean on and the mother must stop the operation in time.
On the contrary, if the baby is sitting relatively stable, and has no anxious expression, and has a desire to continue, Bao Ma can let him sit appropriately, but the time should not be too long!
Need to remind However, sitting by the back is not a necessary stage for the baby to learn to sit. Baoma should focus on the baby's tummy or turning over to strengthen the muscles of the baby's neck and back. Only when the muscle strength is improved, learning to sit is no problem!
2, sitting
Month age: about 6-7 Month’s baby
When the baby’s neck and back muscles have developed to a certain stage, they can sit on the ground with their hands or hold other things, and the baby’s back can be gradually straightened and kept in balance .
inAt this stage, Bao Ma can't deliberately let him sit alone, she needs to be there to ensure safety, and she can also stretch her hand to lend strength to the baby so that the baby can master the time and intensity of the exercise.
3, sitting alone
Month age: about 7-8 months old baby
No need to remember anything With tools and assistance, the baby can sit independently. This is the real "sitting", and the baby's hands are freed to grasp and take things, and often turn the head, neck and upper body to observe the surroundings. Babies can also master the free transitions between different actions, such as the posture changes of "from lying to sitting" and "from sitting to lying".
In the three stages of learning to sit, the development speed of different babies is different. Babies have individual differences in the development process of big sports, which are affected by heredity, nutrition, fatness and thinness.
Therefore, don't compete between mothers, as long as the baby's overall growth and development are normal, there is no need to be too anxious.
We do not recommend that Baoma interfere with the baby's big motor development, but for some babies whose development is obviously delayed, Baoma can give proper training guidance, and can perform some exercises and games for learning to sit.
Practice sitting, you can try
1, pull sitting exercise
Here, "pull sitting" pays more attention to assistance. If the baby has already started to sit, Baoma needs to pay attention. When the baby shows the signal that he wants to sit, he can try the "pull sitting exercise".
Exercise essentials: Hold his shoulders, arms or hands, and gently force, let the baby take the initiative to sit up with your strength.
Note: The whole process of sitting should be based on the baby's active force. Baoma just pulls up with the opportunity, not the main thing, not to force the practice.
2, grasp enough toys practice
If the baby has been able to sit proficiently, you can choose the right time and "teasing" the baby with toys. stand up.
Exercise essentials: Place a toy on the top of the baby's head diagonally to attract him to reach out and grab it.
Note: It should be done after the baby is proficiently supporting and is willing to practice without physical and emotional discomfort.
It may only take a few months for the baby to go from "want to sit" to "sitting alone", but just a few months has made a lot of treasures Moms think that the baby’s life is a lot slower. In fact, there is no need to care about it. As long as the baby is healthy, how much difference can it make faster and slower?
Not just learning to sit, baby learning to stand, walk, etc. The process of big exercise is a natural process. Give the baby more time and I believe it will bring big surprises!
