Why does the baby stand on tiptoes?

As the baby grows and develops, he or she will gradually learn to crawl and then learn to stand by holding on to the wall. If the baby touches the ground on tiptoe at this time, parents should not worry too much. This is because the baby's Achilles tendon is not fully developed and this may cause such a phenomenon. Another thing to understand is that the baby cannot learn to stand too early. When the baby is learning to stand, parents should be by his or her side to prevent the baby from falling.

Generally speaking , babies will have the desire to crawl on their own when they are 6-8 months old, and will be able to stand at around 9 months old (some babies can stand on their own at six months old), then walk with support, start to stand independently after one year old, and then be able to walk independently. Whether a person can stand depends on whether he has the awareness and ability to stand, and also on his standing posture. If his feet can easily touch the ground and he can stand by himself with the help of objects, parents can encourage him to practice standing. However, each child has his or her own independent development process, so there is no need to compare them with each other; let alone deliberately "train" your child to stand with the help of adults. Also, remember that tumbling is the basis of gross motor development. It is best to train your child to stand after he or she has learned to crawl. Otherwise, the child will not practice crawling after learning to stand. So, train your baby to lie down and crawl more.

Prerequisites for babies to stand on their own

1. Bone development: The spine will develop cervical flexion, thoracic flexion, and lumbar flexion, which usually takes at least 9-10 months. 2. Muscle development: It usually takes 8-9 months for the baby to go from lifting his head while lying on his stomach, turning over, to crawling/sitting on his own. If the bones and muscles are not developed enough to stand, and the child is supported by the arms to stand or even jump, it will be detrimental to the development of the baby's spine and lower limbs. Is it harmful to learn to stand too early? "My baby boy is just over 6 months old and the elderly in the family want to pull him to stand. Is this good?" Of course not! The child's lower limbs cannot bear the weight of the whole body. Children can practice standing and squatting only after they have learned to crawl. I believe most mothers have heard that "standing too early is not good for the baby's leg development." Some babies have strong developmental abilities and like to stand when they are just 5 or 6 months old. However, even so, they cannot be allowed to stand all the time.

reason:

The reason why babies cannot stand prematurely is because the tension of the extensor and flexor muscles is not coordinated. Only with coordination can you stand. The baby is in a stage of rapid growth and development. The bone structure is mainly composed of cartilage. The bones are elastic and plastic. The muscles are relatively weak and the bones are easily bent and deformed. If they stay in the same posture for a long time, they will become deformed, resulting in O-shaped legs, X-shaped legs, etc. Parents should never take the initiative to help their children learn to stand, sit or walk; and should not compare with each other. Every child has his or her own developmental journey. I have learned to stand, do you want to stop me? "My baby is over six months old and can already crawl very fast. He can also stand up by himself by holding on to the edge of the crib. Should I stop him from standing up or should I let him stand?" What you need to understand is that a baby's gross motor development is a natural process and does not require "coaching", "coordination" or deliberate "training". The growth and development of each infant is highly personalized, and parents provide a place for activities and observe the development of their babies. For babies who are over six months old and can stand on their own and easily touch the ground with their heels when standing, there is no need to forcibly stop them. But parents should not be anxious about babies of the same age who are still unable to stand.
