Question
A 10-month-old baby, although well-developed, sits with an uneven back and stands with crooked legs. The head is larger with a square-shaped top, and there is also supplementation of calcium. What could be the reason for this? What should be done?
Answer
Although the 10-month-old baby is overall well-developed, sitting with an uneven back and standing with crooked legs are typically due to the baby’s legs not having fully developed the necessary strength. These issues usually improve as the child grows. It is recommended to continue providing calcium supplementation and regularly check for trace elements. If calcium deficiency is detected, it should be supplemented promptly. Additionally, for babies with a larger head and a square-shaped top, attention should be given to calcium intake, especially for heavier babies where calcium deficiency is more common. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby a healthy growth!
