From what age (from how many months) can you put a child in a jumper?

Most pediatricians are categorically opposedearly use of the device. The baby's spinal column is subjected to excessive and unusual load, which in the future is extremely unfavorable for his health. Therefore, the later the operation of the simulator starts, the better. The allowed period for planting a child in a jumper is 7.5-8 months. It is at this time that the crumb makes the first attempts to stand on the legs at the support and his brain is already prepared for possible verticalization. In addition, the baby can lean on the entire foot, which is extremely important for preventing flat feet. Simulators-jumpers for the youngest are equipped with additional support in the field of armpits. It must be remembered that the time during which the baby is in the simulator must be limited - no more than 40 minutes a day. The rest of the waking period should be dedicated to crawling and independent rising on the legs. In any case, before buying jumpers, you should visit a pediatrician and carefully weigh all the pros and cons of the simulator. Only in this case the device will really bring benefit and will give the child maximum pleasure.
