The development of babies follows certain rules, such as three flips, six sits, nine crawls, and ten months of doing odd jobs. This is what describes the direction of the development of baby's big movements. Normally, babies start learning to walk around ten months old, but many parents give them a walker in advance. So, how many months can a walker be used?
There is a lot of controversy online regarding the use of a walker, with most opinions suggesting that no matter how old the baby is, it is not recommended to use a walker. According to general standards, babies can start crawling at nine months old, so the best time to help them practice is at seven or eight months old. If parents use a walker for their babies at this time to save time, it will greatly hinder their development. Although the walker is very convenient to use and allows babies to move freely, it also reduces their desire to climb and prolongs their mastery of the sport.
A walker is used to assist babies in walking, and upright walking is the essential difference between humans and animals, which requires the cooperation of hands, eyes, and feet to complete. There is a safety tray in front of the walker, which can easily block the baby's view when walking. The baby cannot see their own walking movements and cannot understand the essence of walking. Even without the walker, they still cannot walk on their own. In addition, the walker has pulleys, so babies don't need too much force to slide forward, which is not conducive to their standing.
