I've heard that baby is unable to support the body's weight. So if u aid the baby to walk or stand, it can cause the legs to become like a bow. Is it true?

Sort of. Putting too much pressure on little legs that aren't yet strong enough to support the weight can cause them to bend over a period of time.
Standing is something your baby will do naturally when he or she is ready. It's not going to hurt in small doses. (It's cute. We all did it.) But when baby sits down, let him/her rest for a while.

No, the only thing that can cause a bow fracture is extreme pressure on the baby's legs when the knees are locked. You should not use what they call a "Johnny Jump up"....one of these things that clips in the doorway and bounces baby up and down on their feet. My son was 9 months old and received a bow fracture in his left knee from coming down too hard on his feet.

Yes, it is possible... Best thing to do is wait for the right time when your baby's bone are fully develop that will strive him to stand and walk alone the only thing you should do as a mother is to supervised him/her. I have read some information in the internet that it is not safe to have your baby a walker, since it is only the legs and feet that are being exercise. Let your baby crawl, stand until such time that he's ready to walk alone.

It might be true if you are making the baby stand before it wants to. My second son was always struggling to stand at the age when he "should" have been learning to sit, so I gave him a baby walker that allowed him a bit of support in the standing position. I figured that if he wanted to stand, he was probably ready for it.
There was something I made him do that he didn't want to do: lying on his back, because it is supposed to be the correct way for a baby to sleep. He got a flattened head. (He was born early, so his skull was probably still soft.)

No. That's an old wives tale.
The baby will start to support it's weigjht when ready. Allowing the baby to use it's legs by standing up when it shows it is ready helps strengthen it's leg muscles.

i do no longer see the way it is going to reason issues later in existence. My son grew to become into strolling by using 8 months, and he enjoyed status early on besides. right here is the component. Do what works best for you. If she does not seem having any subject status, then there in all risk is no longer a subject with it. donning a newborn on your hip in all risk is no longer all that massive of a deal. do exactly what _you_ think of is right, and don't subject approximately others. I recommend, there is a few straight forward experience issues, like fixing bottles, cleansing up, and stuff like that. yet, as for something of it, it incredibly is your determination, and listening to too a lot of human beings supply you too lots suggestion is merely going to wind up in confusion (and a question in Yahoo solutions :) ). human beings have been elevating infants for a protracted time, and all of it comes organic. do no longer sweat it, do the suitable you are able to, and do what you think of is right.

Absolutely not that is total hogwash. Have fun with your child and don't worry what everyone else tells you. Kids are more resilient than people give them credit for. Have fun.
