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

[wutti]

hi meg2,
i think there is no problem with sitting for a few minutes, if the baby is happy with that. have a look at the babies back. if it is extremly flexed, the baby has not the core stability to sit in an upright position. in this case the baby shouldnt sit to long.babies often like the sitting pos. because they have a better persperctive in viewing and looking at things. my son (9 month) is not able to get in the sitting pos. on his own yet, but if we help him with that, he sits very good, with an erected spine. Thats most important. the same counts for standing etc. the baby must be able to keep all erected pos. on its own.
keep smiling...
