Patient's question:
Is it bad for a three-month-old baby to be held constantly, as it might cause them to develop a hunchback? The child has been in this situation for a long time, and I am very worried, fearing it could become serious. Please give me some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. The child is currently under three months old and has relatively weak spinal strength. It is not advisable to hold the child upright for too long, as this can easily affect spinal development. You can let the child lie on their stomach on the bed for a while to exercise the strength of their neck muscles. Avoid holding the child frequently and prioritize having them lie on the bed instead.Generally, we support their buttocks with our hands, but it's better to use the left hand to support their back. This way, their waist and lower back are better supported, reducing excessive pressure and providing protection for their waist and back.
