12~16 months is the age when every baby learns to walk independently. At this stage, the baby's muscle system is not fully developed, and their walking movements are not well coordinated, and they always stagger when walking. Mother, don't be anxious, the baby will learn to walk slowly, but mothers should pay attention to a few points when the baby is learning to walk:
Note 1: Mothers should pay attention to the correct posture of the baby when learning to walk. The correct posture is: the baby's feet should face forward, not outward or inward. In this way, the baby will develop splayed feet or splayed legs in the future, which will affect the appearance of adults. Moreover, babies can easily fall when walking in this posture, and it is extremely unsightly.
Note 2: Mothers should ask their babies to get more sun. At the same time, let the baby eat some cod liver oil and foods high in calcium or take calcium supplements directly. Only in this way can the baby's bones grow stronger. In this way, the baby can bear enough weight of the body when walking, and the baby's legs will not be strong, resulting in unsightly bow legs.
Note 3: When the mother holds the baby's hand and walks, the mother must use appropriate force. Never pull hard to avoid dislocation of the baby's shoulder and elbow joints. Cause pain to the baby.
Note 4: Regarding the safety of babies learning to walk, mothers should strengthen the protection of babies learning to walk. When a baby learns to walk, it is inevitable that he will fall down, break his scalp, etc. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to protecting the baby, especially in parts that are easily damaged, such as the head, knees, etc.
Note 5: Mothers usually let their babies play with non-dangerous toys, because when the baby just learns to walk, his hands-on ability is significantly enhanced and he loves to play with toys. If you are not careful, your baby may prick himself with the toy. This requires necessary protection for the baby's eyes, ears, nose, etc. Mothers should not let their babies play with sharp toys or small toys with long sticks, otherwise the baby will be injured if they accidentally fall down while walking, and they should not let their babies stuff such toys into their nostrils and ears.
Note 6: Mothers should not let their babies put food in their mouths. When the baby just learns to walk, the mother should always keep an eye on it and not let him put anything in his mouth, otherwise it will easily cause some accidents. For example, swallowing a small toy into the trachea is a very serious accident.
Note 7: Mothers keep dangerous goods away from babies. When the baby learns to walk, he feels novel about everything. He wants to see and touch everything he has never seen or touched before. Everything becomes a baby's toy. Some things can cause danger to babies, such as some medicines at home, mother's cosmetics, unsealed washing powder, etc. Parents should keep these things out of the reach of young children. Or it would be better just not to let the baby see it when walking.
