My baby wants to stand, walk and kick at only a few months old.
Is this OK? The changes that occur at around 2 months of age
during a baby's physical development are quite remarkable. After
weeks of dealing with someone who just needs to eat and sleep,
your baby can do things. And at this age, parents really see
their child's personality begin to emerge, including which baby
will be a future speed demon or athlete. These behaviors are all
very normal and should be encouraged. Moving her limbs and
pushing against things help your baby develop muscle strength
and coordination. As long as you are providing plenty of trunk
support by holding your baby under her arms, standing and
"walking" are great exercise. In fact, the "walking reflex" is
one of the primitive reflexes of newborns. So enjoy these early
games and exercise sessions with your rapidly growing
baby.report abuse
