Xiaodong is a neighbor baby in our neighborhood, a few days younger than my child, but he learns to walk much earlier. My child only started walking when he was 13 months old, and Xiaodong was able to walk independently before 10 months.

Xiao Dong's grandmother is very happy about this, thinking that her grandson is smart and capable, and maybe even a genius. This worries me a little because I'm worried about whether my child is stunted. In fact, parents should not do the following things in advance.

1. Walking too early

It is not always good for a child to start walking too early. It can bring a range of potential harms to a child's development.

This can cause problems such as leg bending, deformity, muscle and joint damage. In addition, there may be poor posture such as tiptoe landing, inner or outer figure-eight, and may even affect brain development.

I understand everyone's ardent expectations for children's growth and the psychology of hoping that children will "win at the starting line". But we must recognise that every child grows at a different rate, and we should respect and support them to develop at their own pace.

A child's growth is a gradual process of development that follows specific rules. In this process, there are some things that cannot be too forced, and early intervention or forced learning may have a negative impact on the child's body and mind. For example, in addition to learning to walk, there are 6 things that should not be tried too early for your child.

2. Urinate too early

Traditionally, the older generation tends to give their children and urine. But before your baby's bladder matures, doing so frequently can lead to problems such as bladder dysfunction, underdeveloped spinal cord, pelvic instability, and abnormal hip development.

Experts recommend that babies should not engage in this behavior until they are one year old. Some people believe that after the baby learns to sit alone at about six months, it can be tried appropriately, but it is best to avoid it before that so as not to damage the spine. In the process of urinating, parents should be gentle, pay attention to the indoor temperature, prevent the baby from catching a cold, and observe the baby's reaction, if there is discomfort or resistance, it should be stopped immediately.

3. Premature breastfeeding

Breastfeeding provides complete nutrition for newborns and ensures their health. Breast milk contains all the necessary nutrients and antibodies for your baby's healthy growth. WHO, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and national experts emphasize exclusive breastfeeding for at least six months, followed by complementary foods up to two years of age.

Early weaning can deprive your baby of the best source of nutrients and affect their development. Mothers should continue to breastfeed up to the age of two to maintain the health of their baby.

4. Learn to sit too early

Letting your baby sit too early is not good because the bones in his spine are immature and his muscles are weak, and too early pressure may prevent normal growth. Most babies are able to sit on their own at 6-8 months, but there are individual differences. The exercise should be progressively from pulling to sitting to sitting alone.

This includes making sure they sit in a stable position and avoid falling from high places such as chairs, sofas or beds. At the same time, we also need to pay close attention to your baby's reactions and pause the training as soon as they show discomfort or resistance.

5. Quit diapers too early

Before the age of two, the baby's anal sphincter is not fully developed, and premature toilet training may bring unnecessary psychological stress to the baby and even affect kidney function. It is generally recommended that babies start to gradually reduce the use of diapers by the age of one and a half years and completely stop by about two and a half to three years of age.
