Preventing Scoliosis in Babies: Pay Attention to These Three Critical Periods Feb 03

The baby's body bones are not well-developed and are soft when he or she is The development of a baby's spine goes through critical periods, and it's crucial to take care during these stages to prevent scoliosis.


At 3 months old, a baby's bones are soft and not well-developed, making it the first critical period. Incorrect holding positions like standing, sitting, or holding vertically can harm the baby's spine. During this stage, the baby should only be held lying down, and if holding vertically is necessary, do so horizontally while carefully protecting the baby's neck, back, and waist.




At 6 months old, the baby's spine is already well-developed, ushering in the second critical period of spinal development. Although the baby can sit independently, it's important to control the time and not force correct sitting posture or allow the baby to sit for too long, as it can lead to thoracic lordosis and even hunchback in severe cases, greatly impacting the child's image once formed.


Around one year of age, infants enter the learning-to-walk stage, which is the third critical period of spinal development. However, this doesn't mean the spine is fully formed. It takes until around the age of six or seven for the spine to fully develop. During this time, it's important not to force your child to learn to walk and avoid using baby walkers, as they can cause leg deformities such as X-shaped legs or O-shaped legs.


In daily life, there are imperceptible behaviors that can lead to scoliosis in infants. It's important to avoid the following:


Improper baby diaper/pants changing positions.

1. Baby Pants: Open the baby pants with both hands to cover the baby's calves, and then pull upward along the root of the thighs to straighten out both sides of the leak-proof partition edge.

2.Baby Diapers: Lie your baby on their side and unfold the diaper so that the absorbent layer is facing up. Hold the baby's waist and slowly turn them to lie flat. Pull the front piece of the diaper over the baby's abdomen, stick the Magic Tape to the top surface of the diaper, and then adjust the diaper to fit the baby's body.




3. Using a pillow that is too high.

 

4. Selecting the appropriate mattress softness; a better-support mattress is required as the baby's spine is still developing.

 

5. Using a baby sitting chair to help babies learn to sit, which is important for spine health.
