Question

A parent asks whether it’s okay to hold their three-month-old daughter upright, even though the baby seems to enjoy it, but they are worried about any potential health impacts.

Answer

A parent shares their experience, noting that their baby enjoyed being held upright as early as two months old, but they have been careful to control the frequency and duration of these holds. Now that the baby is almost four months old, they have observed no abnormal developmental issues and the child is growing well. Moreover, experts suggest that serious complications in pediatric orthopedic rehabilitation can greatly affect patients’ work, emphasizing that in addition to active treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. They should protect the affected area, maintain a reasonable diet, and avoid or reduce the risk of recurrence.
