Does a walker really cause bowlegs? Improper use of the walker will lead to the baby's bowlegs. The seat cushion of the walker is high, so the baby can only slide on the ground with his toes. Therefore, when he advances, he basically uses his toes to exert force, which will easily deform his foot joints and turn his heels outwards, resulting in flat feet. In addition, because the baby's bones contain less calcium, more colloid and softer bones, it is easy to have "X" or "O" legs when using the walker too early. In addition, improper use can also lead to splayed feet: generally speaking, the baby's muscles develop from the center to the periphery. If the baby's muscles are not fully developed and the back support is not strong enough, it may lead to the baby's spine bending, which may affect the development of leg muscles in the long run. Moreover, the baby always walks on tiptoe in the walker, which will make the sole muscles uneven and the toe muscles easy to be overused. Moreover, in the process of sliding, the muscles of the thigh will be severely oppressed, and splayed feet are prone to appear.
Mothers often have a particularly intense and pleasant conversation when discussing how their babies learn to walk. Babies are learning to walk, which is especially related to the whole family. When the baby can sit, get up and walk by himself, mothers often consider buying a walker for their baby to learn to walk. There is a wide band between the legs of the walker, which easily leads to the child not standing up straight in the walker. It is easy to induce the formation of bowlegs. Children are not mature enough to walk, and forcing them can easily lead to damage to the development of legs and spinal bones. Experts do not advocate the use of walkers for babies because it is not conducive to bone development. When talking about growth and development, experts said that walking is a natural development process, and it is not suitable for premature human intervention. We don't approve of using walkers, walkers and other auxiliary facilities to help children learn to walk. First of all, standing, walking, running and jumping are all natural things, not "refined".
The walker can sit for several months, and you can sit in the walker after eight months, because the spine is required to be fully stretched when sitting in the walker, and both lower limbs have the ability to support weight. If the walker is put in too early, because the lumbar spine is not fully developed and has no stretching ability, the lower limbs can not fully support the weight, which is easy to cause spinal deformation, O-shaped or X-shaped legs appear in both lower limbs, and varus feet appear. In addition, the walker can slide freely, and the baby has no safety awareness, which is prone to accidents such as falling or hitting the corner of the table and falling down the stairs. Therefore, parents should have a high sense of safety and take good care of their babies.
Because the walker is a roller type, it is faster, and there are many hidden dangers in the walker. If you don't pay attention, it's easy to fall and even cause some harm to your baby. Some babies will become dependent if they stay in the walker for a long time. Although they will run faster in the walker, they are afraid to walk without the walker, so this is also a very big disadvantage of the walker, so try not to let the baby sit in the walker. You can also walk slowly with your parents, which is good for your baby's development, so some even affect the development of bones because you stay in the walker for a long time.
