She HATES being carried, laying on her back, but always wants to be held upright. Only recently (4 months), I've let her put more pressure on her legs because I was scared it would hurt her in some way too. But she's always pushing off with her legs, hates tummy time, and kicks me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-940384 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 00:12:53 +0000 Smurfette 940384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R has always loved to stand verses sit. I hope it doesn't mean she will start to walk sooner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-940377 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 00:02:31 +0000 MrsMccarthy 940377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son did this too. He was always a strong baby. Crawled at 6 months, and was walking unassisted by 9 months. You probably have a little go getter on your hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-940291 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 22:23:59 +0000 Running Elley 940291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E has always loved standing up too- from about that age he has been obsessed! He was pulling up at 7 months, cruising at 8 and is taking steps at 9! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-940251 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 21:51:06 +0000 rawrasaur 940251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I played a standardized patient for the med school in my town and the doctor there told them it is a reflex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-940127 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 20:52:42 +0000 doodlepoodle 940127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: I think our LOs are the same! J haaaaated tummy time but walked at 10 months and is all over the place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-940124 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 20:51:11 +0000 Ginabean3 940124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO does this too! She likes to stamp her feet and kick really hard! Not fun when you are getting kicked in the boob during feeding time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939727 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:45:17 +0000 Honeybee 939727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's called the step reflex. Both of my kids did this, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939700 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:31:52 +0000 MamaMoose 939700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M did this super early too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939698 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:31:33 +0000 Cupcake 939698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds just like Baby cakes. He loves a good bouncing session! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939695 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:30:12 +0000 mrsjyw 939695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds was the same way. Loves standing n walking...he started pulling up to staand at 7.5mths last wk! Hated tummy time... but lives pulling up n cruising </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939692 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:28:50 +0000 Arden 939692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, DD has been doing this practically from birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939680 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:22:58 +0000 SugarplumsMom 939680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was the same way. She loved to stand at a very early age. She was born with really sturdy legs. This is the reason why we bought her a jumperoo and introduced it early (she was on a few pillows since she couldn't touch the ground). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939668 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:17:33 +0000 cmomma17 939668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: yes! My LO loooooves standing, and he will be 3 months tomorrow. It's part of our routine to stand him up on the changing table after dressing him and he likes to stomp his foot a few times. :) he loves being upright and facing out to see the world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939664 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:14:44 +0000 aprk 939664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I think there is a reflex for this, yes. That being said though, at 15 weeks, A wants to stand all the time. Straightens his legs in the carrier too, not pushing against anything. He thinks sitting is lame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939657 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:12:10 +0000 Weagle 939657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: Mine did it too. Was pulling up and cruising at 7 months, but walked at the totally average age of 12-13 months. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939636 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:00:56 +0000 pregnantbee 939636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: Mine definitely did this! He was always happiest while standing. In our case, it wasn't an indication that he would be an early walker, etc. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939623 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 16:57:06 +0000 Weagle 939623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think at this age they still ave a reflex that makes them do this. I could be totally wrong... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939621 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 16:54:14 +0000 rachiecakes 939621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: YES! one of my co-workers made a comment about how it would harm is ankles (? um okay) but he was doing this from a verrry early age.<br /> He started pulling to stand at 7 months, was walking around holding onto things within a month of that and started walking around 10.5/11 months. He's always been a really active kid! </p> <p>Funny thing, he always hated tummy time and facing in while in a carrier, and I think it's because he was missing the action. He's always been all about moving-moving-moving and seeing everything there is to see, lol </p> [attach=1845/13/mq3oxa.480x480.936375_10152872423855654_854354468_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-month-old-standing-up#post-939615 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 16:49:56 +0000 LazyLightning 939615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First off, I do know she can't actually stand up and won't walk for 8-12 more months. She can't even hold up her own head for more than several seconds... yet.</p> <p>But the last week or so, she likes to push up HARD with her legs when she's sitting on our laps. Wants us to hold her in this standing position, and will make leg motions like 'bouncing' (bend knees, put weight on legs, repeat). She hates to just sit on my lap, even while eating she'll try to push her legs out and 'stand'. I have to sit her in a way so that her feet can't find purchase, otherwise she's launching herself up and back all the time.</p> <p>Anyone else's kid do this? It's like she suddenly found her legs, right around 6.5 weeks, and she wants to do *something* with them! </p>
