No, it's not damaging him. It's just walkers can be dangerous. They can tip over. A bouncer would be a safer choice. -
No, my dd was the same way at first.

No. That is how it can work. And ignore the walker is dangerous stuff. As long as you use common sense & don't put it at the top of a staircase ( duh ). I hate the walker hate LOL. So silly. Never owned a bouncer, didn't see the point.

hes 8 mos old give him time;-)

No it's giving him something to hold him up. You're not damaging him, I promise. Just be careful because they can tip over. He's just a little young to be walking yet. I have five kids and they all started out like that!

The walker can "damage" him. It's bad for the hips and spine. If he only goes in it a few times a week for short periods then it probably won't harm him. Bu if you use it frequently, it can. It can also cause a delay I learning to stand and walk. -

They were used for years. I used one on a normal basis & I walked at 10 months. I have no hip or spine problems. I Know both of my brothers walked before 12 months just don't have the exact month. The only reason that walkers were stopped from being so commonly used was lack of common sense & lack of kids being watched & people let their kids being used around areas they could fall. So then they were deemed evil, instead of the parents just lacking using common sense.
Bouncers & Johnny Jump Ups would cause the same damage if not worse then.

Google it, the studies have been out for years now.

I have tried. It keeps going back to tripping & falling. That there aren't enough studies that prove any delays at all. And the damage in hips is inconsistant.
