How many months can a baby start practicing standing?

Patient's question:

My baby is three and a half months old. She seems to dislike standing upright. As soon as she is stood up, she gets very excited. She grabs my hand, and together we can help her stand up on her own. She is extremely happy and excited.
Previous treatment history and outcomes:
Health check-up: Above average.
Type of help needed: Is it possible to confirm that the baby's bone growth and development are relatively fast? Can she be allowed to stand for a bit now, many times a day, for a few minutes each time? Will this affect her future growth and development?

Doctor's answer:

Guidance: Generally, infants start learning to stand at around 9 months. Before this, babies can perform rotational movements, but they are not truly standing. If a baby hasn't learned to crawl yet, even at 9 months, they may not necessarily start learning to stand. After learning to crawl, they will naturally progress to the standing and walking stage. I hope my explanation helps you. The above is advice on the question "At what age can a baby start learning to stand?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
