Baby walkers!
So I’m on baby nr3. My first 2 (now 12 & 6 yrs old had used baby walkers from 6months) and so far so good. I am aware of the dangers out there stated on the internet. My 3rd is going on 5 months and I am now in 2 minds, due to what’s out there on the internet. What are your thoughts?

Wait, what’s wrong with a baby walker?
@Ema the physical therapists where my son was born said that they’re not great for baby’s hip placement or something and that they don’t help babies walk in the correct way.
My son has a push along walker. Before he was able to pull himself up and walk around, we would hold him up to give him practice on his feet but other than that just crawling around and climbing over things is supposed to be enough to develop the muscles for walking. I also just didn’t love the idea of yet another plastic baby contraption taking up space.
@Hannah this is new information to me, thanks for sharing.
