My 7mos old baby seems to be having interest now of learning to walk. Actually he can already stood up with my aid straight on his legs. I am thinking if I should buy a walking assistant (walker) for him. Is this advisable to have? will it be easier for him to learn how to walk?

I don't know if their are already studies to prove or disprove that walkers can help babies learn how to walk. But as far as I can remember, my siblings who were born after me used walker. My mom told me before that all of us have used the same tool to learn how to walk. As I recall, the walker really increases the baby's feet as one steps and jumps when in it. Using it is just like assisting the child with your hand as he/she strutter across the room. To make protect the arms of the user, our walker has a soft padding where the baby places his/her armpit.
