Why are China children's legs not straight? ? According to research, nearly 70~80% of children in China are "bowlegged", which is called O-leg in medicine. It's hard to see clearly when walking. Either it is easy to have an internal character or it is easy to have an external character. You can see the clue from the degree of shoe wear, but not all situations are abnormal.
Before the age of 2, it is normal for children to have bowlegs;
Judging from the growth and development of infants, his hind legs will bend when he grows up because of the limited space in his mother's uterus, which means that the state of bowlegs at birth is normal and will last for about 2 years under normal circumstances.
What mothers need to pay attention to is that, on the contrary, those babies whose legs are straight at birth do not mean that they will grow into long legs or congenital advantages in the future. It is probably a pathological phenomenon. Take your baby to see a pediatrician in time, and don't be careless.
However, mothers do not have to worry too much. As the baby grows up, the bone development is gradually improved. Usually there will be no bowlegs after 2 years old, and it is normal to have X-legs before 2 to 8 years old.
After 2 years old, children are still bowlegged, so we mainly look at these two bad habits of parents:
Often let children "sit on their knees"
Although the conditions for raising children are getting better and better after the improvement of material life, most young parents will return to the workplace after giving birth to their babies to create a better environment for their children. So the child's grandmother or grandmother has become the main force to bring the baby, but there are always some disadvantages for the elderly to bring the baby.
Because of conformism, children are very easy to kneel, which leads to weak leg muscle strength and increased pressure, which will also be inhibited in the process of postnatal development and even affect the appearance of legs.
"Kneeling ceremony", which has been passed down in China for hundreds of years, was very popular in the past, but if children in the new era are allowed to do this, it will definitely affect their future development. Young parents should inform the elderly in advance to avoid similar things.
For the correct baby sitting posture, parents can make their children stand upright, with their arms naturally vertical, their legs apart and their feet flat.
Always hold the child with one arm.
In real life, many young parents and the older generation like to hold their children with one arm, just like children sitting on their arms. I feel relaxed at first, but I will change my other arm after a long time.
However, if you look closely, you will find that the child's legs will be high and low. This kind of bad posture can easily lead to the joint dysplasia of children, especially the knee joint pronation, which is often in a twisted state, and the child's legs are stunted, which in turn leads to long-term bowlegged legs. Parents may also increase the probability of scapulohumeral periarthritis because of this posture.
In addition, it is best not to use "vertical hug" or "underarm hug" in the hug posture, but to use "wrist hug" to let the baby's head lie on the bend of his left arm or back arm, and the left hand and right hand hold the baby's back, buttocks and legs.
