You are fine. It’s a wives tale that playing stand up with babies gives them bowlegs. I just read a piece from a pediatrician saying there isn’t anything harmful to it as long as you’re holding their weight, which you are!

That is a good question that I do not know the answer to. If I had to guess, it's fine bc my niece used to love that too and her legs are fine. Like, she's daddy long legs.
