A. pls don't use walker, first let the baby learn to sit without support. try making her sit in a corner or with a pillow behind, put some interesting things toys before them and try to grab those, help them with support. repeat this for 3-4 times everyday for around 15-20min. this will help baby to sit without support and balancing. walking takes few more months, have patience and let the baby be ready for it, don't force them to walk with walker before being able to sit. this activity was suggested by our pediatrician and it is working for my 7 months old now.

A. it is not advisable to use walker for children because many times the child may fall from it causing grievous injury. it does not help in any growth milexstones of the child and many times can cause delay in the walking milestone of the child. the child d oesn't learn to walk because the child feels that they have to move around in the walker itself so will not make an attempt to walk avoid using walker if possible.
