(Work by Holly) At 4-8 months old, babies go from being pulled and leaning around to sitting firmly without relying on any assistance. Their world is no longer limited to the ceiling. Sitting up is a big step for babies to grow. With the development of physical fitness, their posture skills have become even more superb. Dang Dang Dang, Mommy Cake is here to knock on the blackboard! Moms, pick up the energy and focus. Those cute sitting postures of babies may hide many hidden safety risks for physical development, especially during the toddler period. Warning: The baby\’s bad sitting posture looks so cute and cute. If you use it for a long time during the toddler period, it is not a good habit. It is not good for the hip joints and muscles. In particular, do not use the W sitting position if the child has the following conditions: The child has orthopedic problems. Sitting in the W position can easily dislocate the child\’s hip joint, so if the child has hip dysplasia or has been reminded to pay attention to this problem before, the child should not sit in the W position. The child\’s muscles are tense. Sitting in the W position will increase muscle tension. This sitting position compresses some muscles and tendons of the legs in a very short range. If your child is prone to muscle tension and contracture, it is best to have your child sit in a different position. The child has neurological problems or developmental delays. If the child has a problem with increased muscle tone, then the W sitting position will cause the child\’s movement pattern to be abnormal. Changing the sitting posture can allow the child to develop towards the ideal movement pattern. In addition, when the child sits in the W position, the rotation of the body will be reduced, which will also affect the child\’s hand preference. He will become accustomed to grabbing things on the right side of his body with his right hand and grabbing things on the left side of his body with his left hand, instead of crossing his hands to pick up things on the other side.
