5month old wants to stand
My baby is almost 5 months old and he always wants to stand. He doesn't like to lie down on his back. He always rolls to his back and sleeps in that position only. And when he is awake, he wants to stand all the time and moves his legs forward as if he will walk. Is it normal if he does this at this early age? I have heard from our elders that it will harm his legs. Please confirm.

Some babies do not like to lie down. It just seems like he is physically very active. Even if he is standing it's not like it's without support. Don't worry, there's no harm in that
