W-Sitting in Babies & Toddler - Is It Bad?

Many parents often wonder if W-sitting in babies is safe and if it requires any intervention. Truth be told, this sitting position is far from ideal and needs correction as soon as possible. Wondering, what's the w-sitting position in kids? Well, many children prefer to sit on their hips and bend their knees, spreading their legs outward. When looked from above, the legs and hips seem to form the letter “W”, which gives this position its name. Watch this video to know more about this position.
At times, children who keep sitting in the W-position for a major part of their childhood do end up developing certain conditions that affect their gait or physical arrangement. Your child may begin to limp or have a pigeon-toed walking style. These can further result in a loss of muscle strength and clumsiness during movement. So the short answer to your question on 'Is w-sitting safe?' is No. However, this video will help you understand all the alternative sitting positions and methods to stop your child from sitting in this position.

Sat like this for 10 years. Now my knees point inwards and feet point outwards. Sometimes when I walk my heels hit each other and I stumble a little

@@sirihere..871 I would recommend butterflies with your legs, because it goes in the opposite direction than w sit

[@Professor_Geonite]

My first thought when seeing the thumbnail: is this a sign that they are going through something at home? Um?
My later thought after watching the vid: oh. I was sooo somewhere else

Good day..i have a toddler..he is 2 years old now..he can walk..but not by himself..he cant balance yet on walking..what advice could u give me..thank u

[@JAYDEN-gb2oj]

Since this is 10 months ago that is a very good question if he is still a toddler
Try holding his hand while walking or put a candy in ur hand and then let him walk to u
The candy one always works
