5 Months Old In Walker

Is it healthy for my 5 months old baby to sit and run around on her walker??? She really loves it and since she is quite a wild kid it helps keeping her occupied. But I heard that walkers can be bad for babies. Will she get hurt in anyway by running around in it?

Some safety issues
by: Baby Help Line

Hi!

I bet at least the baby walker is good for your sanity... ;-D

Baby walkers are criticized over and over again for being unsafe. At the same time it is a fact that a lot of families use them. They are very appreciated by the babies and often by parents too.

If your daughter spends a limited time each day in the baby walker in a safe way, I don't think you should worry. It won't make her walk faster or anything like that, but it won't harm her either.

But really, safety is important!

Watch out for stairs, pools, anything that she can pull down, reach and try to eat, and so on. Also make sure she is not left alone in a room while in the walker.

Baby walkers are not ideal, but for active babies, they are great entertainment, noone can argue with that.

Hope it helps,

/Paula

baby walker
by: Anonymous

I guess I'm old fasioned but i put my kids both in a walker at 2 months old...as soon as they are holding their head up...I had one that moves around the room. I put a blanket or stuff around them to fill up the hold so they wouldn't flop around. They both were walking by 9 months old.
