What is a baby's waist? Do you need to practice sitting?

The baby grows remarkably every day, and is able to do many things more. "Sitting your hips" is one of the growth stages of a baby. By sitting down, you can instantly expand the range of things you can do.

What is hip-sitting?

Newborn babies are soft and even when they try to lift them up from their sleep, their heads hang down sloping backwards. Because they can't maintain their posture, they cannot sit on the floor or chair yourself.
As you grow, your neck will first become firmer, and gradually your back and hips will become stronger. The ability to keep your neck straight and freely turn your face without supporting you is called "slip your neck" or "slip your neck," and the ability to develop muscle strength around your hips and be able to sit on your own is called "slip your hips" or "slip your hips."

When will your hips sit?

Ministry of Health, Labour and WelfareAccording to the "Infant and Young Children's Physical Development Survey" (2010), 86.3% of children reach 8 to 9 months old and can sit for more than a minute without holding their hands on the floor and without supporting them. By the time you reach your first birthday, 98.1% will be able to do this "sitting alone," so it can be said that most children will complete the sitting position by the time they are one year old.
Of course, there are some kids who are slower than that. The pace of growth is obviously different to individuals. The average is just a guide. Early children may get it from around 4 months old, but there is no need to worry, whether it is late or early.

How can I check if my hips are sitting?

Let them sit in a soft place, such as on a futon or mat, where you don't have to worry about getting injured if you fall, and gently release the supporting hand.
Check whether you can sit with your back straight without leaning forward, whether you can maintain your posture without putting your hands on the floor, whether you can hold toys or other items in your hand while sitting, or if you can turn your face, and if you can, you can determine that you have already sat there.
Even if your hips are sitting, you may not be able to sit for a long time at first and may fall over, so be careful.

What can you do when your hips are sitting?

You will be able to sit with your back straight without using both hands, and you will be able to use a baby chair that you can sit at mealtimes.
Also, if you sit stably, your hands will be free, allowing you to play alone with a toy. It is also recommended that moms and dads sing "hand play song" and play together. By moving your hands to the rhythm, you can develop reflexes and sense of rhythm, and it also promotes brain development. Communication with moms and dads also leads to emotional education, so be sure to actively incorporate it into them.

What should you not do before your hips are sitting?

To sit back, it is necessary to fully develop not only the muscles, but also the bone structure and nerves. Some moms and dads make them practice sitting to encourage lower back, but if the baby slurps or crying, it can be fatigued or painful.
As you develop, you will naturally become able to do it, so sitting practice is not necessary in the first place. Be careful not to overdo it.

Baby goods that don't match the level of growth are not allowed!

Some baby goods are available in a suitable age for use. Some can be used for newborns, while others can only be used after a certain period of time, such as six months of age, so it is important to choose one that suits your growth stage.
In particular, products used to assist babies in posture, such as baby carriers, child seats, and bath chairs, are usually based on whether they are sitting at their neck or waist. The applicable age is merely indicated as a guideline, and just because it reaches that age does not mean it can be used unconditionally, so be careful.
The products that can be used after you sit on your back are made with the assumption that the muscles and bone structure of your back and waist are fully developed. If you use it before you sit back, it may put an unnecessary strain on your baby's body and pose a safety risk.
