Having a baby is not only a great joy for parents, but also an even greater responsibility. Often, newly minted dads and mothers ask questions about when it’s time for the baby to keep his head up, roll over, agitate, smile, sit, get on all fours ... Parents of little princesses often think about when to plant a girl. Indeed, it is still widely believed that if the baby is seated too early, she will face future troubles in the female part, in particular, the bending of the uterus. But first things first…
When can I plant a girl? Firstly, it is worth noting that it is impossible to provoke a
bend of the uterus with early sittings, it is no more than just another myth and grandmother’s “horror stories”. Some parents believe that by seating the baby they work out the necessary skill and contribute to the rapid physical development of their daughter, but they are mistaken. The loads on the still weak back and fragile spine, and early sitting can be characterized just like that, they can come back to life in the future, so you should definitely not hurry! Let the baby first strengthen her muscles and grow to this important stage! To do this, it must often be spread on the tummy, stimulated to upheaval and rise to all fours, and then to crawl. In addition, the simplest massage and gymnastics should not be neglected. And then the question of when you can plant the girl, simply does not arise - she herself will sit when the time comes. Most often this occurs at the age of 6-7 months.
Is it possible to plant girls who themselves do not yet know how to sit down? Until the baby turns six months old, this should not be done. But from 6 months, if necessary, the crumbs can be planted for a short time. Do not cover the child with pillows and make him sit for a long time, especially if he actively protests. You can seat the baby in a special child seat, tilting its back slightly, or in raising the head end of the stroller (in the "half-sitting" position), thereby increasing visibility. However, do not get involved.
How many girls can be planted, it is best to ask a pediatrician who has been observing the baby from birth and knows all its features (for example, whether there was hyper- or hypotension, birth complications, neurological problems, dysplasia, etc.) And if this is not possible , because, unfortunately, not everyone was lucky with the doctor, you must always remember that it is simply impossible to be late in this matter. Many pediatricians and orthopedists say that the option when the baby first crawls, and then sits down, is the most optimal. Of course, I really want to brag to my family and friends about the early development of my daughter and, in particular, the ability to sit, but you should moderate parental ambitions and first of all think about the health of the crumbs.
When can a girl be planted if she develops faster than other children? This also happens - the baby was not yet 6 months old, and she already sat down herself. In this case, you do not need to worry, which means that the crumb muscles are already quite strong. However, you should not leave her in a sitting position for a long time, let the girl creep and move more.
If the child does not sit independently at 6 or 7 months, you should not panic. The baby has the right to its own pace of development, perhaps the child needs a little more time to master this difficult skill. However, if this did not happen before 9 months (provided that the baby is full-term and has no visible health problems), it is necessary to consult a good pediatrician.
