When the baby turns three or four months old, young mothers begin to worry about when you can sit down a girl.
Among the townsfolk, there are several absolutely opposite opinions about how many months you can plant girls. Someone says that sitting down girls before they sit themselves can not be categorically, someone is sure that there is nothing in the early sitting down anything terrible.
Why it is impossible to sit down early girls?
An experienced pediatrician will undoubtedly give advice not to rush things and wait until the child sits down himself. He will also explain to the inexperienced mother why it is not possible to sit down early on the kids, and girls in particular. The fact is that the muscular corset of newborn children is still very weak and unable to keep the baby's back flat. Sitting not ready for this child, we give to his spine and muscles a heavy load, which will cause discomfort and can even lead to injuries of the spine, because it will lie in this case, all the load. For girls, this is fraught with the possibility of divergence of the pelvic bones, and this in the future may respond to problems in childbirth. Especially a lot of problems arise when the girls are seated with pillows, because in this case the baby is unable to change the position of the body when she is tired.
Another negative side of very early attempts to plant a child is that in an uncomfortable yet sitting position, the child will feel insecurity and fear. That's why parents should not interfere with the natural course of events and wait until the baby makes his first attempts to sit on his own.
When can I plant girls?
The need for a sedentary pose and the willingness to take it often appears in toddlers at the age of six months. In a six-month-old child, the abdominal muscles and the spine are already developing enough, he can already keep his back straight, and he does not need additional supports. It is this age that is defined by pediatricians as a milestone, when it is already possible to begin to sit down a girl.
How to properly sit girls?
Let's consider some simple recommendations on how to properly plant a girl. Categorically, you can not put under the back of the baby as a backup rollers and cushions. The baby should get used to keep the back straight even without an outside support. Start with the fact that for a short while, put the baby on her lap. During the day, do a little exercise with the little one: by offering your fingers as support, plant the baby. After regular gymnastics and massage, plant the baby for a short time on an even hard surface. Protect the child to prevent falling, but do not hold it. After a while the baby will get tired and return to the horizontal position. Usually five to six such trainings are enough for the child to sit on his own.
Age of six months - the boundary is pretty conditional, because everything depends on the overall physical development of a particular child. Therefore, do not panic if the child does not sit at this age, or vice versa, settles on his own for a month and a half before that time.
The delay with sitting occurs mainly when parents do little with the child, do not pay due attention to his physical development, do not do massage. An important factor in this case is also the loose structure of the body and excess weight. Ask the doctor for advice on how to properly teach the baby a course of curative gymnastics, what changes to make in her nutrition and how to properly do her firming massage. It will be a very short time since the beginning of the classes and the question of when to start sitting down a girl will lose its relevance, because the child will be able to sit alone.
