It is not recommended to hold a one-month-old baby upright.
Because the lumbar vertebrae of one-month-old babies are not enough to support the body, and the muscle strength of the back of the neck is weak, the head is not very stable. If the baby is held vertically, it is easy to cause the baby’s lumbar spine to be injured, which affects the health of the body, so one-month-old babies are recommended to be held obliquely.
With the development of the baby, three months can be vertical hold up. But need to pay attention to vertical hold time can not be too long, a time of 15 ~ 20 minutes or so. And you need to have a tilted angle when holding, and your hand should support the baby’s head and neck to avoid accidents.
If your baby is still unable to hold his head up at four months, and his neck is unable to support his head when he is held vertically, you need to pay attention to him. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a relevant examination to clarify whether there is any developmental backwardness.
