A one and a half year old baby is already learning to walk and babble. Steady steps and straight legs are relatively normal walking postures. Baobao is in the developmental stage, and parents are very concerned about its developmental characteristics. Some babies may experience leg deformities, which is not a small problem. So, what should we do if our legs are not straight at one and a half years old? Please refer to the following content.
What should I do if my legs are not straight at one and a half years old
In fact, this phenomenon can be considered physiological abnormalities unless the bending angle is really too large. As he grows older, it will tend to be normal, and parents don't need to worry too much.
However, some parents are still very worried that their children's unattractive leg shape may affect their walking posture in the future, and they are also afraid of developing other leg diseases. If you really want to know if a child's O-shaped leg is serious enough to require treatment, you can take them to the hospital for some tests, such as using X-rays to check if the angle of bending of their knee is too large. Otherwise, you only need to continue observing.
If the angle of the baby's leg bending does not increase, but as the child grows older and develops other problems, such as falling behind more than normal babies in seven sitting and eight crawling, or walking or falling frequently at the age of 2, it may be necessary to consider whether the baby's development in gross motor skills is lagging behind. In addition, a small number of babies with O-shaped legs are caused by familial genetic factors. The doctor emphasized that if the parents themselves have some inner eight or O-shaped leg shape, it is normal for children to have similar conditions and there is no need to panic too much.
One and a half years old, why are your legs not straight
It could be just an individual difference, or it could be because children are still relatively young, and as they age, some people will gradually improve on their own. Additionally, the possibility of O-shaped or X-shaped legs cannot be completely ruled out. You need to consider going to the hospital for a face-to-face consultation to confirm. If the examination shows O-shaped or X-shaped legs, you need to pay attention to supplementing calcium for the child, and you can also use leggings while sleeping.
From this perspective, if a one and a half year old baby's legs are not straight, it is possible that they have O-shaped legs. To address this phenomenon, you can go to the hospital to take an X-ray image for examination. In addition, when the baby is learning to walk, parents should know how to let go, and even if the baby falls, they should let the baby stand up on their own, which is conducive to cultivating the baby's independent personality.
