Patient's question:
Can a four-month-old baby sit up? Do they need to be treated in the hospital? How long will it take to recover? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to explain this to you. For a 4-month-old baby, it is not recommended to start sitting because the second physiological curve of the spine, the lumbar curve, should form at 6 months. Sitting at this time can affect the child's growth and development. Generally, you can start sitting appropriately after the child is 5 months old, but be careful not to let them sit for too long. Normally, the child will learn to sit independently for a short while at 6 months. This is because the child's body is heavy and they don't have much strength to support themselves.
