    Question Is weightbearing (standing, sitting) unsafe for young babies?

    What is the latest school of thought on weightbearing in young babies? Are the suggestions that it causes problems in spinal development such as spondylolithesis true? Is a baby who is 6-12 weeks old is able to fully support her own weight, and loves standing (e.g. next to a couch for support - with very close supervision) at any sort of risk to her development? The same question applies to using a jolly jumper or sitting vertically in a front pack with legs dangling.

    Thanks, Megan
