Walker for 10 months baby
Hi Peds,
My son is now 10 months old. He tries to stand with help and walks if someone holds his 2 hands. Is it recommended to give him a walker. If yes which one is recommended?

Walking with support at 10 months is absolutely normal and given Walker most babies do tip toe walking and will persist for a while even after discouraging Walker. Usage of Walker is not recommend.
