A healthy growing baby

"Leg length" is an aesthetic standard recognized by many people. Parents want their children to have a more perfect leg shape and try to correct it with various external forces. In fact, if you want your child's leg shape to look good, it is more important to change many bad habits in life.

Many parents think that their legs are not bad, and their children's legs are not bad, but when their children grow up, they find that something is wrong.

Sugar mom has a long-legged friend Xiaoqing. When she was a student, her legs were envied by girls, and the boys who chased her were even more "lined up". Later, Xiaoqing was with a boy who was also long-legged. The students lamented that they were a "strong alliance" and that the baby in the future must be long-legged.

They really got married after graduation. Xiaoqing did not engage in her favorite modeling industry, but turned and devoted herself to husband and wife life.

Her long legs didn't give full play to her advantages, but she was surprised to find that her daughter liked imitating catwalks very much, so she happily sent her daughter to learn modeling. On the day of sending her daughter to class, Xiaoqing found that her daughter's legs were very common among children, and even appeared to be bent and short.

Once, she made a joke in a circle of friends: "The baby born by a strong combination does not have long legs, which disappoints everyone."

I chatted with Xiaoqing for a long time after seeing my circle of friends. Why don't children follow the couple? How is such a good "gene" wasted? Sugar mom and Xiaoqing found these problems.

From the perspective of children's image and health, it is really good to have longer legs, but don't ignore the problem of leg shape. There are also imperfections in the leg shape of the children of long-legged couples, which shows that in addition to genetic influence, various details in life may also hinder the development of the baby's legs.

1) Does the baby's leg grow healthily?

The whole body bones are changing during development. If you want your child to have a pair of long legs, the most basic guarantee is that the child's legs grow healthily from small to large.

First of all, parents should try their best to protect their children's legs from injury. As the saying goes, "it hurts the bones for a hundred days." Minor injuries will bring pain to the baby. Severe bone injury will lead to the deformation of the baby's bones, and the development rhythm of the two legs is different, which will prevent the baby from becoming long legs.

Secondly, parents inadvertently let the baby exercise prematurely, which not only does not stimulate the secretion of growth hormone, but also puts pressure on the development of the legs.

2) Bad habits that have been passed down for many years can't help the baby grow long legs.

However, many parents worry that their children's legs are not good-looking, so they will prick their legs, from short to the month of birth, from long to 6 or 7 years old. They want to straighten their children's legs through restraint, but they don't know that this situation will delay their leg development.

When the external force is forcibly used to help the baby's knees and ankles, it will affect the child's hip joint development accordingly. After the baby is born, the development of hip joint is not perfect. When the baby moves freely, the femoral head stimulates each other in the acetabulum, which can make the hip joint more stable.

Xiaoqing's grandmother often mentioned that Xiaoqing's leg shape is so beautiful because her family often leggings her when she was a child, so Xiaoqing often leggings her children after giving birth. As a result, Xiaoqing's mother tied it for several years before she found out that she sighed helplessly: "Every time you are tied, I will secretly untie it." Your good leg shape has nothing to do with leggings. "

3) The posture problem has a great influence on the baby's legs.

Many children have beautiful legs when they are young, but they change when they grow up. Need to pay attention to whether it is a normal posture problem.

Standing on one foot, crossing one's legs, sitting or standing are all reasons why children's legs become "bent and short". More importantly, poor bone condition will affect other parts of the body. For example, at first, only the legs are short, which will gradually lead to pelvic tilt and spinal curvature.

Most babies, as long as their legs are symmetrical O-legs and X-legs, their age and genu varum can be aligned, which are physiological "small bent legs" and a normal development process. If there are no other abnormalities in the child, you can observe it for a while and don't worry too much.

The proportion of baby's leg length is also slowly changing. The baby's head is close to nearly a quarter of the trunk size, and the upper body is long and the lower body is short.

The younger the age, the larger the upper body is than the lower body, and the proportion of lower limbs increases gradually around 7 years old. 12 years old is equal up and down, the midpoint is just above the pubic symphysis, and the figure ratio is better.

Children can have "long legs", but parents should not rush to the moment, pay attention to the following aspects, so that babies can easily have long legs.

Provide favorable conditions for bone development: adequate sleep is conducive to the development of growth hormone, and pay attention to the comprehensive supplement of nutrients in daily diet, including calcium, vitamins, protein and zinc.

Don't learn to walk too early, and try not to use a walker: A survey conducted by a foreign medical research institution found that when a baby uses a walker, there will be some invisible wounds on the inner thigh, and the child's legs are easily deformed due to forced standing, thus affecting the child's leg development.

If you want your baby's legs to be long, you must follow the baby's natural development law. /kloc-it's not too late to let the baby practice walking after 0/0 months.

Sugar mom's heart:

The baby's legs are not tied straight, but attention should be paid to various details such as posture and health. Don't delay your baby's leg development because of bad habits. Parents must correct the above misunderstandings as soon as possible, otherwise the baby's legs will bend and shorten.
