walkers? yay or nah?

Question

My daughter is gonna be 7 months old and I'm wondering are there benefits to a walker or is just a waste of money?

Answer

There's a misconception that walkers teach babies to walk however walkers tend to affect balance control postural control as well as poor standing positioning it puts the hips too far apart and babies tend to be tiptoed.

Baby should only be in a baby holding equipment for 15 minutes at a time for a total of two hours a day.  Floortime and tummy time is what teaches babies how to crawl and gives been good postural control works in their balance and body awareness

Answer

My baby has been using one since 5 months and he's about to be 7 months. He loves it! It allows me to clean and he can just follow me wherever. Talk about a lifesaver!!

Answer

My pediatrician says walkers can delay walking. Haven't decided if we're going to get one or not🤔

Answer

My daughter uses one and loves it. She is 6 months old and is lifting herself up on object and crawling like crazy. Walking is right around the corner! She uses the walker to run after Me and play tag in the afternoons.

Answer

I have 3 kids and have used walkers with all of them, my daughter is 17 now and started walking at 10 months, and my son is 10 now and started walking just before he turned 9 months, and my newest addition is 6 months and we just got a walker for him, I've never had any issues with them as long as you watch them and keep them safe 👍🏼

Answer

My baby girl loves it!! First couple of weeks she got the hang of it. Now she can maneuver that thing in any direction. I highly recommend it.

Answer

My daughter LOVES her walker. My pediatrician doesn't love them because they can be a safety hazard. He said as long as I watch her while she's in it and I don't leaver her for extended amounts of time, he's ok with it.

Answer

My son loves it. He is 8 months old.

Answer

Nope. I actually hold his hands to help him practice walking. I believe that's much more effective. Plus walkers can be dangerous and my pediatrician is totally against them.

Answer

My pediatrician says no also
