Question
What should I do if my baby at 6 months old can’t straighten its back?
Answer
Generally, this condition may be due to a lack of vitamin D or calcium, or because the baby is not carried often enough, or because there are limited opportunities for the baby to crawl, leading to weak back and spine muscles. Encourage your baby to get more sun exposure and gradually increase crawling activities. Enhance feeding with complementary foods. If there are concerns about developmental delays, premature birth, or difficulty with water aspiration and breathing, it is advisable to consult a hospital for a check-up.
