How many months is it best for babies to sit in a walker?

My eldest baby always wants to stand up with the help of something. At what age is it best for babies to sit in a walker? Now I dare not put him in the bed by myself. The child always wants to stand up by himself. Sometimes he can stand up with just a gentle help from my hand, and he knows to move his legs forward. His mother said that this is a sign that the child wants to walk. I want to buy a walker for the child so that he can learn to walk by himself. I don't know at what age is it suitable for babies to learn to walk in a walker, so I went to my friend's house to ask. I will tell you here what I know.

A general baby walker is composed of bottom wheels, a body frame, a seat, etc. It is a means of transportation for babies before they can walk. Parents who buy walkers believe that walkers allow babies to move freely, get exercise, are safe and quiet, and can help babies learn to walk while also helping to take care of the babies. However, the research conclusion is exactly the opposite of what parents think, walkers do not help babies learn to walk. Children who used baby walkers learned to sit, crawl, and walk later than those who did not, and scored lower on tests of intellectual development than those who did not.

A baby walker, also known as a walking frame. It can not only prevent toddlers from falling, but also reduce the pain of parents helping their babies learn to walk. However, using toddlers too early or too often can cause suffering. However, using a walker too early or too frequently can also have adverse effects on children's growth and development. If a baby uses a walker too early, his lower limbs cannot support his weight and the load of his body is almost entirely concentrated on the seat, which means the baby is essentially sitting in a walker. If a child is too young and learns to sit too early, his spine is tender and his back is underdeveloped, which can easily lead to scoliosis or hunchback. If a child uses a walker too early, the gravity of the upper body can cause the baby's legs to bend inward or outward, and over time form "X"-shaped legs or "O"-shaped legs like rickets. The upper limbs play a key role in maintaining the body's balance during the baby's toddler period. Letting the baby sit in a walker like a "tumbler" not only limits the mobility of the child's upper limbs, but also affects the normal development of their upper limbs. Generally speaking, when the baby is 7-8 months old and can sit independently, you can let the child gradually start practicing sitting in a walker, and the time each time should not be too long. When the baby can take a few steps on his own without support, it is not advisable to let the child sit in a walker to avoid affecting his physical development.

A walker is just an auxiliary tool and you cannot rely on it completely. The main thing is that the baby's bones develop strongly, which is an important condition for the baby to learn to walk. When learning to walk for the first time, it is necessary to proceed step by step and not rush. Different babies are different.

The above content is what I learned from a friend about how many months it is best for a baby to sit in a walker. After listening to my friend, I have somewhat given up the idea of ​​buying a walker. I am usually with my child all the time, and I can teach my child to walk by myself. Walkers have many disadvantages for children, so why should I still use them? Let myself and my baby enjoy the joy of learning to walk.
