My mommies that use walkers: In your opinion; did it seem as if, the walker hindered the baby's ability to learn to walk on their own?? My daughter stands for long periods and is able to take a couple steps and still maintain her balance. But, she wants to roam everywhere and do everything and it's taken a toll on my back to hold her hands while she "walks" about our home.

I only put my daughter in her walker to feed her lol otherwise she's crawling all over the place in standing up on her own and walking along furniture. She is only 8 months tho.

I didn't have a walker for my DD but I did have a floor Jonny jumper I put her in every once in a while just to keep her occupied so I could get some stuff done. In my opinion I don't think they should be used as a source of teaching them to walk and they shouldn't be left in them for long periods of time I look at them more as a toy.

Half my kids used a walker and half didn’t....they all started walking around the same age 🤷♀️

@birdknees79 Oh man. I don't want to delay her in anyway. But my back is starting to give out, so I don't know what to do. Perhaps I let her use it for a short while during the day while I catch a break.

@embracemthrhd2 that's what I'm thinking I might have to do, I only have her use it for a little bit in each day.

@mommiesaremagical14 yes, I'll probably just have her use it for a short while, so I can rest my back little bit. My back went out once, it was horrible I had to call some ladies from my church to help me take care of her that day. Even to help me into the shower, it was that bad.

@mathews132 some of my mom friends recommended it; some don't. I guess I just shouldn't leave her in it for too too long.

@sheri-z I totally understand, just before I got pregnant with my DD I threw my back out. I was out of work for a week and bedridden. I had to wear a back brace and everything.

@allisongarrett51 I think I'm going to give it a try, but just for a short amount of times during the day.

@sheri-z, yeah definitely! Moderation with everything! Gives you some mommy time while she scoots around! 😍

The walkers where you sit them inside hinder them. The ones they have to pull up and push are no problem. My daughter used that and walked by 8/9 months.
