Is this normal? 4 month old standing with support

[bbyno1]

My LO loves standing too, she can't hold on to things herself yet tho! So we'll hold her up and then se moans if we sit her back down!! x

Lol Aliyah moans when i sit her back down too.
She now has this thing about jumping so much,i don't know where she gets the energy fromx

My little one is 14 weeks. He stands himself up if you hold his hands and can stay upright for quite a while i was a bit worried about his legs thinking he is going to hurt himself but i guess everyones opinion is they are fine. He has always hated to be laid down so guess he is just learing how to get him self up also for a month or so looks like he is doing mini situps everytime i put him down he wants to be upright all the time x

zakk is standing holding onto my fingers. his legs still buckle and i cant see him standing holding a table but he is getting stronger and stronger every day.

i am tall and so is my dh and he has long legs that are really solid so i think he will be walking early. he is clearly frustrated and wants to get moving!

Harrison is like this too!! He pushes up all the time, even in the bath

I keep getting the "bandy legs" comment, haven't got the heart to explain its myth!

Another big baby here... xx


<---------- my avatar is H standing about 6 weeks ago ish... im just holding his side so he doesnt fall over

How long can he stand for? That's amazing! Mine has been able to stand with us holding on to her but she only keeps her legs locked for 10-20 seconds then bounces or sits, definitely not ready to stand all the way yet! I'd say you probably do have an early walker on your hands!

Harry was able to stand holding onto my hands from about 3.5 months, HV said it's fine as long as he enjoys it and he is now walking holding onto my hands and cruising along the sofa. It's all he wants to do now though!

Erin loves to stand, she smiles when she does
She also likes "walking" across the floor, she takes little stompy steps when you hold her in walking position it's so funny. She loves "walking" to the tv it must be the colours.

Don't worry, all babies develop at different rates..what is do-able for one baby at 4 months may not be for another just yet. Just keep an eye on your LO, before you know it he will be running off

I bought Ollie a jumperoo specifically because he loves to stand. He now loves to bounce! He is also a tall, large, strong baby. His hand control is less good than others his age as he is all about moving.

Thanks ladies. He was 10lbs when he was born so maybe thats why? He is normal weight now for a 4 month old but he is super tall the doc said, (like us, I'm 6'1 and DH is 6'3) He is also currently cutting a tooth which I thought was way too early!!

How weird is that ... My son is doing the exact same thing he is 18wks and was 10lbs exactly born .. he is very strong every time someone sees him they say oh isn't he strong .. he was holding his head at 4wks if you laid him on his front and the health visitor said wow he has strong legs ... He is a tall baby too im 5'9 and my partner is 6'5 so he in 6-9months but there getting too small so gonna go into 6-12 soon ..

 

[Youngling]

Jack does this too. He loves it

Coby loves standing too (he's 4 months)! He's loved it from really little (I guess about 2.5-3 months ). When he does stand up (usually with us holding his hands or under his arms) he has the biggest smile and looks so proud of himself! Haven't tried it with him holding on to anything else as we dont really have anything that's the appropriate height, but I'm sure he'd give it a go if we did as he just loves it

my now 5 year old walked unsupported at 7 months and wanted to be on his feet from about 3 months, every baby is different, my 11 month old has only just started standing and walking around the furniture

 

[Eve]

Wow! Strong babies! Kayleigh just started pulling up and semi cruising a week or two ago...

Thanks ladies. He was 10lbs when he was born so maybe thats why? He is normal weight now for a 4 month old but he is super tall the doc said, (like us, I'm 6'1 and DH is 6'3) He is also currently cutting a tooth which I thought was way too early!!

lol Niall was exactly the same and he was a 10lber...he was crawling by 6 months and walking by 10...enjoy the peace and quiet while you've got it

Well done those babies! Thomas is the same, he can stand with abit of support, he hangs onto the sofa and can stand for quite a while, not quite sitting, giving crawling a good go, its his arms that are not as strong. He is a very strong and active baby, was only 6lb14oz at birth, I am not tall, only just 5ft2 but dh is 6ft. Our hv has said he is very strong and advanced but thats fine as he seems to be content with it!

Awwww cute pic. My baby also can stand, has done for a good while now all she needs is something to hold on to for balance. She also has been able to lift her head from birth . However she has noo interest in rolling over because she'd much rather be up to be nosy than be on the floor
