My boy is turning 6 months on Monday. At what month should I make him use a walker? Or should I make him use a walker? I've read that they're not ideal for babies.

i did not put my babies in a walker and trust me it actually helped them to walk faster and get better at their foot grip and balance. when you put your baby in a walker, it makes them careful and there is already a protective support around them which prevents them from trying to really balance on their own. also, skidding along on wheels is something that babies love doing and hence they end up doing less of firm footing time. let your baby try and stand and walk on his own. trust me it will be a lot more fun :)
