Is It Safe To Stand At The Age Of 5 Months?
Question: hello doctor, my infant babyboy is 5 months and 10 days old. if we try to make him stand, he stands for 1-2 min with support n he enjoys it too. he can sit with support n trying to crawling since few days. Is it safe to stand for him at this age? will it affect his bones development?
Brief Answer:
Too early to stand
Detailed Answer:
Hi....sitting without or with support is perfect now. But if he himself gropes and stands with support it's fine, otherwise I don't suggest you should do it by yourself.
It is unnecessary and premature stress on spine.
