Help walking?

Question

How do I help my girls go from the walker to walking?? Any tips or tricks will be helpful!!

Answer

Take away the walker. Someone on here told me to do that. I thought they were crazy. I did and she took her first steps on her own a week later.

Answer

If you didn’t want to ditch the walker cold turkey... what if you let her stand with the walker, and then take her hands off it and pull the walker away from her a little, and then maybe she’ll want to walk forward to reach it, and you could just keep moving away with the walker until she’s comfortable enough walking without it, then you could just take it away once she realizes she doesn’t need it to walk around. I think keeping it in front of her like that would maybe give her a bit of incentive to try walking on her own to try getting to it.

Answer

We never had a walker for our daughter but she started walking when she was around 9-10 months old. We just always held her hands to support her and encouraged walking. We had empty mop buckets that she would substitute as a walker and push around the kitchen floor. She’d eventually learn to lean against shelves or chairs and take her steps on her own.

Answer

I have tried letting them walk with my help and I think they are scared to lift their legs. 
Back story** they were 3 months premature so doctors don’t look at them like they are one. They look at them like they are 9 months. 
They scoot with the walker just fine but when we try to teach them to walk they just yell and cry

Answer

Push walkers are much better for development than the walkers that hold baby. You can also try helping her walk by letting her hold on to your fingers/hands. My daughter is only cruising (walking while holding on to things) right now but when she’s standing up at the coffee table or couch I place food and toys on the opposite end and she’ll walk over to get them.
