Novice parents will be worried in one way or another. When a child is born, he is worried that his ears will not hear. When you get older, you worry about whether he can speak. Then he began to worry about whether his legs were straight or not and whether he could walk. This is almost the only way for every parent. When my family was young, Dabao had to take many detours because he had no experience and didn't know so much. Later, I accumulated some experience, and now I am more comfortable with Bauer. So I want to share some experiences with my mothers.
Many babies have curly or splayed legs when they are young. This is because when the baby is in the mother's belly, the space is relatively small, so it has been curled up. The hind legs are also bent and curled. However, some parents are worried about the baby's leg shape in the future and have to force him to be straight. It is more common that many parents will wrap their children in bags and then tie their legs straight with ropes. Commonly known as candle bag. This practice is very wrong. As you get older, your baby's legs will naturally straighten out. Force the child to straighten or tie it in a candle bag. It will make the baby's hip dysplasia and even dislocation. For this phenomenon, the baby will not feel pain. I didn't find out until I left, and it would be very troublesome to correct it then.
When the baby just learns to do or climb, he habitually presents knee valgus or W-shaped kneeling posture. If you do this often, your baby's legs may be deformed, so parents must guide your baby to do it cross-legged or sitting on a stool. It is necessary to correct the baby's wrong sitting posture in time to avoid this situation.
Many children like to sleep there. However, when children sleep there, their ankles will turn inward or outward. For a baby, he sleeps for a long time and spends most of his time in bed. If you sleep on your stomach for too long, it may have some adverse effects on your child's leg shape. So parents can guide the baby to sleep on his side. Sleep flat or on your back. These sleeping positions can sleep alternately, which is more conducive to the growth and development of baby bones. It is also conducive to the development of children's legs.
The walker is more convenient to use and can free the mother's hands, but it is only bad for the children. Children's long-term use of walkers is prone to O-legs. Children's bones contain more colloid and less calcium, and their bones are soft. But the walking speed of the walker is too fast, and the child has to push his legs forward. After a long time, the child's leg bones are easily bent, forming a so-called arched leg. Therefore, parents should avoid giving their children frequent use of walkers.
Finally, it must be noted that if you think the child's legs are not straight, it means that there is something wrong with his leg shape. Never correct your child's leg shape at home. This may make the child's leg more injured. Want to go to a regular hospital for examination, what causes the child's leg shape to be abnormal? After finding out the reasons, targeted treatment has the best effect.
Let's learn parenting knowledge and exchange experiences together. I hope every baby can grow up healthily and happily.
