Bad posture can lead to back pain. Why is a curved back bad posture when we spend the first months of our lives with a that posture?

A natural curve is healthy. Unnatural/crooked/forced positions is what can be damaging. The “sit up/stand up straight”as “good” posture is rooted more in social etiquette
(arbitrary rules) than health or science. The only “bad” posture is a posture you’re staying in for too long at a time.
