Jumpers are an invention of recent years that allows a baby to safely learn to walk. Created to help parents, jumpers are undoubtedly comfortable, but not as safe as they seem at first glance.
Instructions
Step 1
What are jumpers? This is a kind of spring seat in which the child is rigidly fixed. It can be fixed in a doorway or on a special structure. A child, suspended in jumpers, bounces in them, pushing off the floor with his legs. There are different views on the usefulness of this seemingly convenient and fun device. Jumpers have their pros and cons, so do not rush to buy something for your little one without carefully analyzing all the pros and cons.
Step 2
Plus the first. Using jumpers makes life much easier for parents. The kid is already old enough, he knows how to crawl and actively studies the world around him, which is full of unpleasant and sometimes dangerous surprises. And having put the child in the jumpers, the mother can continue to do her household chores: the child is in sight, he is safe, and besides, he is busy with funny jumps.
Step 3
Plus the second. Bouncing in bouncing jumps, the baby develops and trains the muscles of the legs, thus getting ready to take their first steps. In addition, when jumping in jumpers, the baby trains his vestibular apparatus.
Step 4
Minus the first. Manufacturers often indicate that jumpers can be used starting from four months of a child's life. However, at this age, the baby still does not hold the back well enough, the muscles are not yet strong enough, therefore, being in jumpers can have a bad effect on the child's back, which is not yet adapted to such a load. In any case, you should not put the baby in the jumpers earlier than seven months.
Step 5
Minus the second. Many children suffer from increased leg muscle tone. And when bouncing in jumpers, the child pushes off the floor, standing on his toes. Thus, the tone will only increase, which will lead to negative consequences, and the child will begin to walk not earlier, but, on the contrary, later than the due date.
Step 6
Minus the third. It is contraindicated for a kid at this age to stand up, because the muscles of the legs and bones are not yet strong enough for this. As a result, standing on his feet in jumper, the child runs the risk of getting a deformation of the legs, which at this time are just being formed.
Step 7
Minus the fourth. Jumpers are not at all as safe as they seem. Carried away by jumping, the child can hit the jamb or break the fasteners. Cases of falls and bruises as a result of jumpers' breaks are, unfortunately, not so rare.
Step 8
And finally, the last minus, the fifth in a row. The child is not made to jump, he learns to get up, crawl and walk. Such a stage as jumping, its development does not provide. Therefore, forcing him to jump, the parents disrupt the natural course of things, interfere in the process of the child's development. As a result, a delay in both the physical and mental development of the baby is possible.
Step 9
Thus, there are much more disadvantages than advantages. Therefore, when buying jumpers for your baby, remember: you can use them no earlier than seven months of age, you should not leave the baby in them unattended, and, finally, you should not abuse them. Enough ten-minute bouncing as a game and for the sake of a good mood for your crumbs.
