don't encourage him to do this too much as baby's bones are very soft when they are that young and his weight could bow his legs.

check everything out with your health visitor or dr to get further advise, this is very unusual!

sound to me like you're going to have a very active little man, good luck!

Mine was doing that.  I was told that if they stand too early like this, their muscles might be ready and their brain might be wanting it, but their bones can be damaged from it.  The paediatrician I spoke to said damage to bones won't become evident until they are around 5 or so but advised me to give my daughter lots of tummy time and alternate using the Jolly Jumper, the Walker (like them or not, that was his advice) and just holding her in an upright position taking the weight off her but still letting her think she's stainding up by herself.  She was walking at 8.5 months.

Both my boys were like this. I have always been told it can damage their legs so I only let them do it for very short periods.

Hi i would not worry about it my little girl was like that too, she was so desperate to walk and was walking properly by 10 months. You  might find that he is going to be a very active child. Hope this helps

My son also did this. He is now one and was walking at nine moths. It won't do any damage in small shart doses. It just means that he is likely to be an early crawler/walker. I asked my doctor if this could have any long term effects and he said no. If you are really concerned a CHN would be more than happy to discuss this with you.

My son is now 4 and 1/2 months but he could also stand at that age.  All I did was made sure not to let him very often and for very short amounts of time.  I think that their legs and ankles are nowhere near ready to support their own weight even if they seem to. Just wait, wont be long and it will be ok to let him support himself.

I think it would be a great idea to ask your pediatrition (sp) I really cannot answer this one intelligently .........  perhaps a health nurse could tell you. Blessed Be Crystal xx
