OK.... i have never heard of it causing deformities in hips but my fella reckons he has read somewhere (or should i say his mum says),that a baby isn't supposed to stand on their feet with support until they are ready to walk as the hip joint is too soft.... i already had two kiddies and i do the same things with ickle monkey who is 3.5 months old that i did with the other two... only this time i have mother and father in law preaching at me that my boy should not be on his feet until he is ready to walk as i will damage his hips... now my fella keeps telling me off and i am getting really annoyed by this as i feel as though they think i am harming their grandchild. he loves to push up with his legs when you try to sit him on your lap and i hold him so he is not really supporting his weight and he smiles to me like he is saying ... look at me i am getting a big boy mummy..... is it really bad to let him stand on my lap.. or even feel the texture of the grass on his feet.... thats wrong too as he may get bitten by something in the grass!!!!! is it just my parents in law or are others like this too...... and why do they make me feel so incompetent when i have a 7 and 10 year old any parent would be proud of!
