Any action of the baby after birth will become a landscape in the eyes of parents.
The baby throws up milk, parents: "So cute!",
The baby laughs, parents: "It's just an angel! ",
baby babble, parents: "You see he will talk to us!",
Of course, there are many happy moments brought by baby's small actions, only those who have experienced it can understand.
While enjoying happiness, many parents overlooked one thing: the baby's sitting posture!
As the baby grows, his mobility improves, his body will assume a different shape during the activity process. Compared with the normal sitting posture of adults, the baby’s sitting posture always seems a bit inexplicable , But there is another kind of indescribable cuteness.
Many parents think that since the child is going to grow up, he will learn how to sit by slowly teaching him in the future. As for now, let the child grow up as he pleases.
As everyone knows, if the wrong sitting posture is not intervened in time, it is not conducive to the growth of the child, and it may even cause deformation of the legs and hunchback.
What kind of sitting posture is not conducive to the development of the child?
1, bowed waist
The baby’s early spine strength is weak, it is easy to have a bowed back when learning to sit, that is, the back is not straight and the head is tilted forward. , Many babies use this posture when sitting and playing with toys.
For babies, this sitting position will have a relaxed back and lower back, and it will be easier to play with toys. But in fact, if you maintain this position for a long time, the pressure on the lower limbs will increase and the spine will not be strong. When it comes to exercise, it will affect the development of the legs, as well as abnormal bending of the back to form a hump.
2, W-shaped legs
Some babies will show this posture in the early stages of learning to crawl or learn to sit. The leg movements are similar to the kneeling position, with both feet and calves facing outward turn. This sitting posture can help the baby easily grasp the balance and looks very cute. Therefore, most parents will not rush to correct it after seeing it.
However, babies often sit in this posture, which will hinder the development of leg shapes.
W What are the hazards of sitting?
Long-term W sitting posture, especially long-term maintenance of a movement, will have a certain impact on bone development.
W-shaped legs will increase the angle between the thighs, causing the hip and knee joints to develop and deform, making the baby’s legs not close together when walking. If not intervened in time, it will affect the baby’s health in the future. Walking posture and height.
Affects the sense of balance
The child sits in the W posture. Because there are two legs to fully support the upper body, there is no need to adjust it by yourself, so the sense of balance cannot be exercised, and the center of gravity will not be exercised in the future. Well developed.
forms an inner eight-character, O-shaped leg
When a child sits on the ground in a "W sitting position", the pelvis expands outwards, and the knee joints turn out for a long time, which easily increases the internal rotation angle of the thigh bone. Such children walk and run There will be obvious movements of the feet curling outwards, which is the "eight-shaped", that is, O-shaped legs. In addition, it can also cause toes inverted, flat feet and muscle tension.
causes hunchback
This posture causes the buttocks to always be pressed, and the spine is convex, that is, the spine is greatly inwardly bent, which is what we often call hunchback.
3. Kneeling position
This posture is also commonly used when the baby sits and plays. When the baby sits on his knees, the thighs and calves will be fully bent. Staying in this position for time, the legs are compressed, it will cause wear and tear on the knee joints, and the blood flow in the lower limbs will not circulate smoothly due to prolonged pressure. This is why some babies get dizzy and dizzy when they stand up on their knees. Reasons for instability.
whatWhat kind of sitting posture is more suitable for babies?
Because the baby's early physical strength is insufficient and the bones have not matured, in order to let the baby develop better, it is recommended that parents guide the baby to sit:
The correct sitting posture is what?
Since the W sitting posture for a long time is not good, what kind of sitting posture is better for the baby? William Sears also mentioned it in the Sears Intimate Parenting Encyclopedia.
Long sitting: Sit on the ground with your feet straight forward (or open it in a V-shape). The child can put the picture book on his lap while reading. This sitting position is most suitable for the child.
Sitting in a circle: Sit on the ground with the soles of the feet touching the soles of the feet to form a ring.
Sit on the side: Sit on the ground with your feet bent to the same side.
How to correct the baby's wrong sitting posture?
1. Put a cushion on the baby's back. Give your baby support so that it can relax the back muscles and sit more comfortably. Now that the weather is getting colder and colder after Bailu, keep warm if your baby is used to sitting directly on the ground!
2. Play more games with your baby, let them crawl more and sit as little as possible. I think everyone should know the benefits of crawling, whether it is to strengthen the physical fitness, exercise the flexibility of the limbs, and even promote the development of the brain.
3. Sit with the baby from behind, and the parents sit behind the baby, so that their head and back can rest on the parent's chest, so that they can read picture books, play games, and have fun together It also promoted parent-child exchanges.
When the baby gradually adapts to the correct posture and forms a habit, he will slowly bid farewell to the wrong sitting posture, and the development of leg shape and spine is guaranteed.
Children’s habit formation is a long process. What we need to do is to help children develop good living and study habits on this long road.
