Q: 3 month old standing ?
asked by: worriedauzzi on October 31st, 2008

My daughter stands all the time, she gets angry when I try to sit her down. I heard its bad for their legs to stand so early she is only just 3months old and pulls herself up and if I hold her and stop her from standing she screams. Right now she is standing up holding onto my leg .. will this give her bowed legs as I've heard?

If she feels like standing with your support, then let her. It's an old wives tale that says standing up will give babies bowed legs. Just watch out though! Your baby seems to be really athletically prone and she'll be running away before you know it Smile

My niece is 2mo old and can almost do that. She can support herself pretty well, but not exactly on her own. My daughter did the same thing, she's almost 7mo and her legs are perfectly fine. My mom encouraged all her kids (me plus two) to use their leg muscles from an early age. My daughter was two weeks old when I started pushing on them and she finally started pushing back (she was on her stomach). My mom did the same thing to us, I stood at around 4mo, and my legs are as straight as an arrow.

OK thats good to hear she's 3 months 2 weeks old and holds onto the couch and stands and is even attempting to jump, but nearly always falls. My mum told me it gives kids bowed legs, good to hear its just a myth.
