A. Walkers are not recommended for babies, especially by pediatricians and child development experts. While many parents believe walkers help babies learn to walk, they can actually delay walking and muscle development by not allowing babies to use their core and leg muscles properly. Moreover, walkers pose safety risks, like falling down stairs or reaching dangerous objects. If you still choose to use one, it should be only after 8 months, under strict supervision, and for very short durations. Instead, it's better to let babies practice on the floor with support—like holding furniture or using push toys—to encourage natural walking skills.
