Walkers are capable to occupy the kid and to give to mom of a little free time. But it is necessary to observe age restrictions. Only then the joy of the kid of independent movement will not do harm.
Practically each mom dreams even of ten minutes of free time. Sometimes there is not enough time even to wash. The small child cannot be left without supervision and requires constant attention. Parents come to a conclusion that the child can be borrowed with walkers for a while. Besides it is useful for development.
But not everything is so simple. It is important to know when it is possible to use walkers. The boy and the girl cannot in become at one time in walkers. Physical development of boys is ahead of girls. Still it is necessary to consider the mass of nuances.
When it is possible to use walkers
There is an opinion that walkers can be used since four months. But this delusion. The child's backbone at this age still absolutely weak, and excess loading has to be excluded. For a start the child has to learn to hold independently a head and to curve a back. One more condition is the ability to sit and put foot completely on a floor. It is the best of all to consult previously with the orthopedist and the pediatrician on the matter. Boys can begin to be put in walkers from 7-8 months. Usually to this age they can already stand at a support. At them formation of a musculoskeletal system actively continues. It is allowed to girls from 9-10 months. It is very attentively necessary to approach this question. At a dysplasia of a coxofemoral joint use of such unit is forbidden. It is necessary to consider huge load of bones of a basin of future mom. Formation of skeletal system does not suffer strong loadings. Use by walkers needs to be reduced to a minimum. It is better to apply at urgent need. Children after long stay in walkers often suffer further from hyperactivity.
What is the time it is possible to carry out in walkers
Even if the child delighted with such hobby, longer than half an hour there you should not hold it. The first time has to last no more than three minutes, daily increasing time. Stay in such device will be ten minutes optimum. Walkers at the correct and timely use help the child to develop physical activity, to learn to expect speed to feel the position in space. But you should not hurry with their use nevertheless. Load of a backbone at such age is not necessary.
