A child's development largely depends on how much he moves. However, while the baby is growing and is not yet able to stand on its legs, it can only move on its mother's arms. The baby requires a lot of attention, he wants his beloved mommy to always be with him. But the mother, in addition to taking care of the child, will have numerous household chores. Such an invention as a walker made it possible to facilitate the work of mothers, because they enable the baby to move independently.
Instructions
Step 1
The ability to independently explore the world around them will bring a lot of joy to the child. After all, in a walker you can not only stand looking around and turn, but also take steps without mother's help. However, this seemingly convenient device is fraught with serious danger. The fact is that children who are constantly in a walker do not strive to learn how to walk on their own legs. Also, with frequent use of walkers, there is a high probability of deformation of the baby's still fragile legs and spine.
Step 2
The walker can be used if the child is already sitting confidently, i.e. not earlier than six months of age. The baby can be in the walker no more than 2 times a day for 40-45 minutes. If you use the walker too often, the child will lose the desire to move independently. The child must learn to crawl, because it is crawling that helps develop the muscular apparatus and strengthens the child's spine.
Step 3
A small child is not able to clearly navigate in space. Moving in a walker, he clings to furniture and corners, gets stuck between them. This often leads to the walker overturning, resulting in injuries and bruises to the baby. To prevent this from happening, you should choose models with a deep armchair and a wide base. It is also important that the back of the chair is high enough to support the child securely.
Step 4
If you nevertheless decide to use a walker, then choose the model that is most comfortable and safe for the child. Collisions with furniture and objects are avoided by walkers equipped with a special bumper. When buying, also pay attention to the wheels: the more there are, the easier it will be for the baby to move. Some models are complemented by a worktop with a game panel. The table top can be easily removed if necessary.
Step 5
Do not purchase static devices that do not have the ability to adjust the seat height. If the child is uncomfortable in the walker, the load on his fragile spine will increase significantly, which can lead to a number of serious problems, including curvature of the spine.
