"My baby is 5 months old. My husband wants to place him on a walker, but I have heard it can hamper the growth of a child. Can trivial things like getting a baby walker or not affect the mental health of a child when they grow up?"
— Shamama Rahman

Actually, there is no conclusive research-based evidence that placing a child on a walker hampers mental health, but some research suggests that it has some potential risk factors for physical injuries like getting their fingers cut, pulling things down on themselves, or grabbing dangerous things (such as sharp objects or hot liquids), or falling out of a walker and getting hurt by falling downstairs or tipping over. As long as one can ensure a child's safety from any kind of incidents or injuries, it is absolutely fine. At the same time, parents must spend time with the baby and do some activities to develop the baby's mental and cognitive growth.
