Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My one-and-a-half-year-old nephew seems to be facing difficulties in sitting and has not attempted to stand up or walk. Whenever he sits, he bends forward. Could you kindly suggest what to do?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understood your concern. I suggest you encourage proper sitting posture of the child. You can encourage the child to maintain a good posture while sitting. Ensure they sit on a supportive chair or surface with their back straight and shoulders relaxed. Avoid allowing them to slouch or excessively hunch forward. And also, monitor daily activities of the child. Pay attention to their daily activities, including the amount of time they spend sitting, engaging in physical activity, or using devices like smartphones or tablets. Excessive sedentary behavior could contribute to posture problems. Encourage regular breaks and physical activity to help maintain good posture. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.
Thank you.
