How to help a 9-month-old baby stand straight?

Patient's question:

Why does BB's leg always stand crooked? My friend said it might be bowlegs or X-legs. But sometimes BB can stand straight, like when he yawns or stretches. I think it could be due to his lazy behavior. Do I need to seek medical treatment for this? BB is now 9 months old. Can he drink pure milk?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! It is recommended to continue drinking formula milk until the age of 3 and a half. You can start giving fresh milk in small amounts after the baby turns one year old. The nutritional composition of fresh milk is simple, and its protein molecules are large, which can easily cause digestive problems for babies and is not suitable for young children.
The baby is still unable to walk and mostly cannot stand straight. Right now, the baby is still learning to stand, and some postures are still difficult for the baby. You don’t need to worry; as the baby grows, such situations will mostly no longer exist. Severe calcium deficiency may affect the baby’s bone development, leading to the leg shape you mentioned.
It is recommended to wait and see for a while.
