6 week old back

posted 30th Dec
Hi guys!
My baby is 6 weeks old and I'm worrying about his back.
I don't know what's normal and what's not
My health visitor told me ages ago that a baby's spine doesn't straighten completely until they are mobile.
Basically when I burp him his lower back is really curved
When he's laying against my stomach his lower back feels like the spine is curved out wards and not straight . When he stretches it feels straighter but I'm just worried now

He is fine! They are used to vein in that position and won't straighten out for a bit. You will notice it when he does. Also laying on the floor will help too then he will start kicking and playing.
