Is it OK for babies to put weight on their legs?
Is it OK for babies to put weight on their legs? One common question that parents often have is when their children will be able to stand comfortably on their own. Generally speaking, babies will start to bear weight on their legs with their feet flat on the floor at around 7 months of age.
When can you carry baby by armpits?
Once they're able to hold up their head and sit with support or on their own (anywhere between 4 and 7 months), you can start picking them up by tucking your hands under their arms and lifting. Be careful when you're picking up and putting down your baby to avoid accidentally hurting them.
