Patient's question:
Please ask, how many months after can the baby be held upright? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
It's best to wait until the baby shows a desire to be picked up, and let nature take its course. Since every baby has different physical conditions, it should be tailored to each individual. Generally, it's around 4 to 5 months. There are also babies who are picked up earlier, some as young as 2 months. Nowadays, doctors also advocate for early holding. Research has found that babies who are held early tend to have a more graceful figure. However, it should be done gradually, starting with shorter periods of time and gradually increasing as the baby gets accustomed to it.
