Mamas, una weldone o.

Please, what's your take on the use of baby walkers?

My husband wants us to get one for my baby that is almost 5 months old. I read online that it should be used from when baby is 6 months old but he's not ready to hear. I also read on babycentre.co.uk that it is not good for babies at all, that it interferes with their development. She disturbs a lot and he feels getting a baby walker will make her busy and disturb less.

Anyone with experience on it's use should say something please. Thanks.
well, I'd say d earlier d better provided ur baby has very good neck control. a friend started her twin boys on walker at 4 mnths, they r both over a year old n walked at 1yr. I started my son at 7 mnths because I wanted to follow due process & it was 'war' as he refused stayin in & wud cry non-stop til he's brought out..I guess dis was because he'd already started crawling at d time n didn't want any form of restrictions. anyways, d walker wasn't used by him & he walked at 10mnths.
I'd say- forgo d walker if u have d time n patience to always carry ur baby or start early walker use if u want to be able to do ur work in peace as time goes on. but don't leave ur baby in d walker all day.

After vaccination when does baby's body start to get hot?
If baby's body is not hot must pcm still be given?

Oh pls don't wait till d body gets hot before you give d pcm. Gv it immediately after the injection or immediately u get home. And u might even have to repeat it if/when fever sets in. Some nurses will say gv baby thrice daily after d injection.
With my baby, he developed fever within 24hrs but it receded within 48hrs.

The nurse specifically said mothers I am noy saying u should give pcm o. But depending on ir baby's reaction u know what to do
So I was wondering if the pcm can be avoided. Please do u give pcm for all immunizations. Does it include first immunization. Bcg hep b
Thanks

Apply penicillin ointment but I don't think he should still be feeling pain. My son stopped feeling any pain the next day.
