Two days ago, I heard a parent in the community say that her son was just over 3 years old, and he was a bit high and low shoulders, and there was a bit of a hunchback trend. Later, when I talked about it, I learned that her son had to sleep in his arms until he was more than 1 year old, and he would not sleep without hugging, and he would cry as soon as he put it down.
Several parents next to them also said that their children were like this. But as everyone knows, it is very likely that it is because of such an incorrect posture that the baby has high and low shoulders and hunchback!
Holding a baby is a very simple little thing, but an incorrect holding posture is likely to cause the baby to grow up hunchback, high and low shoulders, X-shaped legs, O-legs... No, there are also a lot of stars, because the posture is not right to be dissed.

One hand satchel, the other hand holding the baby, such a street shot looks very fashionable, but the baby is also really tired, the rhythm of sliding down every minute.

The waist stool can greatly free hands, but Xiaobian wants to remind black fathers: so that the baby's legs are pulled down, it is easy to hurt the baby's hip joints and genitals.
Big S
It is reasonable to say that big S should be considered an experienced mother, but with the back strap, it is really... The baby's legs are straight and straight, which is very bad for hip development.
Let's talk about how to hold the baby in different months of age and situation
01
Try not to hold it vertically inside the confinement
Affects spinal development
The newborn baby's spine is very soft, and at this time the weight of the baby's head is about 1/3 of the whole body, the soft spine is not enough to bear weight, and the vertical hug is easy to compress the baby's spine and cervical vertebrae, resulting in cervical spine injury and spinal development deformity.
Therefore, when in the middle of the month, try not to hold it vertically. Even when hugging horizontally, you should pay attention not only to support the body of the little one, but also to hold up the head of the ta to protect the baby's spine.
After the baby has finished drinking milk, he often has to hold it up and burp it. Some mothers directly pick up the baby's armpit and pick it up. Holding it like this is very harmful to the baby's spine.
So, how should you hold it when you burp? In fact, not only in the month, but even within 3 months of the vertical hug, you need to do this:
The right way to pick up your baby
Before first picking up your baby, you should hold your baby's ass with one hand and your head and neck with the other. Then you need the mom to bend down and lean over and rest the baby's head on your shoulder. Finally, slowly pick up the baby
This vertical holding process can minimize the damage of vertical hugging to your baby's spine. In addition, you should also grasp the time of hiccups and try not to be too long.
02
Do not sit outside for 3 months
May be scoliosis of the spine and lumbar spine
After the confinement, you can try the vertical hug appropriately, but not all the vertical hugs can be done.
I usually see people in the community using the "outward sitting and hugging" posture. This outward sitting posture is less laborious, but it can also increase the pressure on your baby's spine.
When the baby's spine is very soft within 3 months, this holding posture will cause scoliosis of the spine and lumbar spine, do not sit outward. Try to use this posture after the baby is 6 months old and able to sit independently.
03
Do not hold it with one hand for 6 months
May cause hunchback
Some European and American stars, such as Sister-in-law Victoria, like to let XiaoQi sit on his crotch and hold the baby with one hand. Sun Li Niangniang also has a lot of such scenes of holding a baby in the TV series "The Legend of Hot Mom".
I have to admit that this posture looks cool and has the feeling of walking with the wind. In this kind of holding posture, the weight of the baby's head is all pressed on the spine, requiring the baby's spine to have developed to a certain extent.
This position is not recommended for babies under 6 months of age.
Within 6 months, the baby's spine is still very weak, the neck muscles are weak, and the body is not yet very upright. This position can compress your baby's spine and is likely to lead to a hunchback.
Babies over 6 months should do this:
By 6 months, the baby's spine has a certain amount of endurance, you can use this one-handed way of holding, but the baby can not sit on the side of the mother at will, should do the following two things:
Mom's arm should hold the baby's ass
Your baby's legs should be tightly clamped around mom's crotch
Sister-in-law And Little Seven gave a perfect demonstration to everyone

Waist stool, absolutely can not sit like this
Beware of damage to the hip joint and genitals
"Go out artifact" waist stool, presumably every family has it? Free hands to let the mother move freely, go out alone with the baby, no pressure!
But although the waist stool is good, the harm to the baby when used incorrectly is not small. I've seen a lot of moms and dads on the road giving their babies a waist stool with a harness. Because the waist stool at the bottom of the strap is too narrow, the baby's two legs are "hanging" like this... Just like Chen Jianzhou above.
Attention! These postures are not right!
As long as the baby's hip joints and legs are "hunched" like the picture above, it is all wrong! It will cause a lot of pressure on the baby's hip and genitals, especially for a long time, and it is likely to cause damage to the baby's hip joint and genitals. In foreign countries, there are cases of dislocation of the hip joint due to the wrong use of the waist stool every year!
The right thing to do is:
Babies under 3 months of age lie on a waist stool
The eldest baby pays attention to the angle of sitting
0 to 3 months of baby most need the neck and waist support, with a waist stool to support the baby's waist and ass, only need a hand to fix the baby's upper body, can make the mother hold more effortless.
4 to 6 months of baby has basically learned to look up and sit back, neck and back waist have a certain degree of support, at this time the baby is no longer willing to lie flat, prefer to stand upright to explore the surroundings, you can let the baby sit on the waist bench.
The correct way for your baby to sit on the waist stool is:
The hip joint and the knee are basically at the same height, then the hip joint can be in a relaxed state, so as not to cause pressure on the hip joint.
If the baby is too small, the legs are too short to sit across the waist stool, and the knees are not bent, it is the wrong position. The mother should adjust in time, such as placing the baby's legs on the same side and keeping the knees bent.
05
It is not recommended to sleep in a long hug
May hunch
Many mothers feel that if they sleep, at least the baby will sleep; if they don't hug, they will cry and not sleep, which is more annoying. So let's go to sleep and grow up.
There are also some elders who love their children very much, and they have a willingness to have close contact with the baby for a long time, holding the baby to go shopping, eating, sleeping and so on.
However, long-term sleep is very harmful to the baby!
When your baby grows up, scoliosis, hunchback, high and low shoulders, you may have been holding him for a long time when you were a child!
Because the baby's bone development is not yet mature and amorphous. The sleeping position will make the baby's spine in a state of bending under external force for a long time, then the development of the spine may appear deformity, abnormal bending and so on.
The right thing to do is to put him on the bed and sleep on his own when the baby is asleep, without holding it in his arms all the time.
06
Do not ride on the neck for 3 months
Easy to hunch over and loop legs
This kind of hugging posture will generally appear when men take the baby, let the baby ride on his neck, and the baby will be very happy. However, if the baby's spine and legs are not fully developed, it is easy to cause hunchbacks and O-shaped legs.
And with this posture, the adult will hold the baby's hand to prevent the baby from leaning back. However, under the action of external forces, the baby's head will lean forward, which may cause the neck to tilt forward.
Correct approach: Babies under 3 months of age are not recommended to do this, babies over 3 months can do this occasionally, and babies who stand tall also like it and are very happy, but the time cannot be too long.
