Possible Reasons:
1️⃣ Normal Growth Pattern – Newborns have a naturally curved spine due to their fetal position in the womb. As they grow, their spine gradually straightens.
2️⃣ Genetic Factors – Some babies may have a naturally longer torso or back due to family traits.
3️⃣ Weak Muscle Tone (Hypotonia) – If the baby's muscles are weak, they may appear more stretched or elongated.
4️⃣ Posture & Sleeping Position – The way a baby sleeps or is carried can affect their back shape temporarily.
5️⃣ Developmental Conditions (Rare Cases) – If the baby’s back is excessively long, curved, or asymmetrical, a pediatrician should evaluate it.
What You Can Do?
✔ Tummy Time – Helps strengthen back and neck muscles.
✔ Regular Pediatric Check-ups – Monitor growth and posture.
✔ Massage & Movement – Gentle baby massages improve flexibility and muscle strength.
If you notice stiffness, difficulty moving, or discomfort, consult a pediatrician for proper evaluation. Let me know if your baby has any other symptoms!
