Exactly how your baby's spine develops
Typically, babies go through 3 stages of spinal development within 1 year of age.
When the baby is just born, the curvature of the spine will show a C shape, and the spine is basically unsupported;
When the baby is about 3 months old, the first physiological curvature of the spine will appear - the neck spinal convexity, and some babies will have a head-up movement;
When the baby is about 6 months old, the spine will have a second physiological curvature - the chest kyphosis, at this time, some babies will have a sitting and standing action;
When the baby reaches about 1 year old, the spine will have a third physiological bend ~ lumbar spinal bulge, and most babies will have walking movements;
