Sep 01, 2021
Too much use of baby walkers too early will not only fail to promote the baby’s development, but may also cause motor development delays and skeletal deformities. First of all, the baby walker fixes the baby in it, so that the baby loses the opportunity to exercise. Large-scale exercises include climbing, standing, bending, walking, etc., which can enhance the coordination of various parts of the body. If the baby is in the stage of learning to crawl, he will not get crawling exercise; in the stage of learning to stand and learn to walk, he cannot stand alone and will walk later. Because toddlers need strength, and when children sitting in a walker need to move, they can use the wheels to slide effortlessly, lacking true autonomous exercise.
Second, the seat cushion of the baby walker is relatively high, and the baby can only slide on the ground with the toes. Therefore, when moving forward, the toes are basically used, which easily deforms the joints of the foot and the heels turn out, resulting in flat feet. In addition, because babies have less calcium in their bones, more gums, and softer bones, they are prone to "x" or "o" legs if they use walkers too early.
Third, if the baby stays in the walker all day, he will miss the crawling learning period before one year old, and will easily suffer from sensory integration disorder, which is manifested as active, willful, grumpy, difficult to communicate with others, etc. Inattention, skipping reading, etc.
Fourth, a baby sitting in a walker can move 1 meter per second. The child’s head occupies a large proportion and is exposed to the outside of the body frame. It lacks safety protection. Once it falls off the stairs or falls over due to uneven ground, The head is easily injured.
