Is It Safe To Make A Month Old Child Sit?
Question: My nephew's son is a month ago. They've taken some pictures of him sitting up on a sofa. Someone told me this is dangerous for infants - they'll injure their necks and backs, and won't be able to roll over or crawl. My nephew would be devastated if he thought he was endangering his baby. Is it really that dangerous?
Brief Answer:
Its always better to have a support for neck
Detailed Answer:
Hi.....its always better to have a support for the neck of infants till the neck holding is achieved by self....up to 5 months age.
Nothing would have happened if the infant is feeding well and active.
But hereafter be careful.
