A. Using a walker for an 8-month-old baby can be a matter of personal preference, but many pediatricians recommend caution. Here are some points to consider: 1. Safety Concerns: Walkers can pose safety risks, as they allow babies to move quickly and reach areas that may not be safe, increasing the risk of falls or accidents. 2. Developmental Delay: Some studies suggest that using walkers might delay certain skills like crawling and walking because babies may rely on the walker instead of developing their muscles and coordination naturally. 3. Alternative Options: Instead of a walker, consider using a stationary activity center or encouraging crawling and standing with support. This helps strengthen the muscles necessary for walking. When to Start Walking Training: Encouraging Walking: You can start encouraging walking when your baby shows signs of readiness, usually around 9 to 12 months. Supporting Walking: You can help by holding their hands, encouraging them to pull up to stand, or using push toys for support. Always prioritize safety and consult your pediatrician for personalized advice based on your baby’s development.
