Стоит ли приобретать ходунки или это вредно для ребенка?

Кто Вам сказал, что ходунки вредны для ребёнка?
Как раз наоборот, в ходунках ребёнок учится ходить с наименьшим риском получить травму.

[Dr.Nathalie]

Какие именно ходунки? Ходунки бывают разные.

[lenycopsy]

Я думала, что они все одинаковые. Примерно вот такие, отличий я не заметила.

There are no benefits to baby walkers

You may think a walker can help your child learn to walk. But, in fact, walkers do not help children walk sooner. Also, some babies may get sore leg muscles from spending too much time in a walker. Most walker injuries happen while adults are watching. Parents and other caregivers simply cannot respond quickly enough. A child in a walker can move more than 3 feet in 1 second! Therefore, walkers are never safe to use, even with close adult supervision. Make sure there are no walkers at home or wherever your child is being cared for. Child care facilities should not allow the use of baby walkers.

If your child is in child care at a center or at someone else's home, make sure there are no walkers. [Ссылки доступны только зарегистрированным пользователям ]


Using a walker does not guarantee that a baby will walk earlier or better than babies who do not use walkers. Many babies who use walkers often walk later than others.

Таким образом, мы возвращаемся к тому же вопросу : зачем лечить, если можно не лечить.

P.S. Яне отдельное спасибо за перевод слова "ходунки".

Какова Ваша цель?
С ходунками ребенок не начнет ходить ни раньше, чем он будет к этому готов, ни лучше. Риск травмы при использовании ходунков выше, чем без них.

Обоснуйте. Какую именно травму может получить ребёнок сидя в ходунках? За всю мою 20-ти летнюю практику(включая работу на "скорой") не встретил ни одного ребёнка пострадавшего в ходунках в городских одноэтажных квартирах. Зато детей до года, пострадавших от невнимательности родителей в среднем по 2-3 в день, я не говорю о тех малышах, которые поступают в центр отравления ГКБ им. Н. Ф. Филатова и в ожоговый центр "девятки" (это по Москве).
"Максимально безопасные ходунки с широким основанием для большей устойчивости, резиновыми накладками на основании, чтобы малыш не смог перебраться через пороги и другие выступы в полу или опрокинуться."
До шнура от чайника или утюга не дотянется, головой об угол мебели не ударится, телевизор или гладильную доску на себя не опрокинет, "Белизну", уксусную эсенцию, калия перманганат, бабушкины таблетки и пр. из заветного шкафчика или холодильника не достанет и это ещё далеко не весь список. Наоборот, пока мама, няня, бабушка гладит, жарит, парит, тихо, спокойно играет и свободно передвигается по квартире, а не торчит в манеже.
PS: Если это сообщение будет скрыто, забанюсь самостоятельно на 15 суток, спасибо.

Применение ходунков вовсе не означает возможность оставлять ребенка без присмотра - думаю все это прекрасно понимают. Зато для смого ребенка это будет приятная новинка: возможно впервые в жизни он сможет самостоятельно делать что-то интересное для себя

Ползать для ребёнка значительно полезнее. Ходунки несколько тормозят физическое развитие ребёнка. С использованием ходунков, действительно, было связано много травм. В США ходунки с колесиками сняты с производства.

AAP Fact Sheet

Baby Walkers are Dangerous!

* Baby walkers send more than 14,000 children to the hospital every year.
* 34 children have died since 1973 because of baby walkers.

Children in baby walkers can:

* Roll down the stairs - which can cause broken bones and head injuries. This is how most children get hurt in baby walkers.
* Get burned - a child can reach higher when in a walker. A cup of hot coffee on the table, pot handles on the stove, a radiator, fireplace, or space heater are all now in baby's reach.
* Drown - a child can fall into a pool, bathtub, or toilet while in a walker.
* Be poisoned - reaching high objects is easier in a walker.
* Pinch fingers and toes - by getting them caught between the walker and furniture.

There are no benefits to baby walkers

You may think a walker can help your child learn to walk. But, in fact, walkers do not help children walk sooner. Also, some babies may get sore leg muscles from spending too much time in a walker. Most walker injuries happen while adults are watching. Parents and other caregivers simply cannot respond quickly enough. A child in a walker can move more than 3 feet in 1 second! Therefore, walkers are never safe to use, even with close adult supervision. Make sure there are no walkers at home or wherever your child is being cared for. Child care facilities should not allow the use of baby walkers.

If your child is in child care at a center or at someone else's home, make sure there are no walkers.

Throw out your baby walkers!

Try something just as enjoyable but safer, like:

* "Stationary walkers" - have no wheels but have seats that rotate and bounce.
* Play pens - great safety zones for children as they learn to sit, crawl, or walk.
* High chairs - older children often enjoy sitting up in a high chair and playing with toys on the tray.

As of July 1, 1997, new safety standards were implemented for baby walkers. Walkers are now made wider so they cannot fit through most doorways and can stop at the edge of a step. But these new walker designs will not prevent all injuries from walkers. They still have wheels, so children can still move fast and reach higher.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Association for Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI) have called for a ban on the manufacture and sale of baby walkers with wheels.

Keep your child safe - throw away your baby walker.

Question: Will a baby walker or jumper help my baby learn to walk?

Answer: No. In fact, studies have shown that babies who use a walker may actually learn to walk about a month later than those who don't. Walkers allow babies to move around before they are physically ready for it, which can cause unusual movement patterns and delayed muscle control.

Babies learn to walk in part by watching and understanding how their feet and legs move. If a walker has a tray, they can't see what's happening with their lower body and don't get the information they need about their motor development.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against using walkers not only because they can discourage your child from learning to walk on his own, but also because they can be dangerous. Thousands of babies end up in emergency rooms and doctor's offices from falling down stairs or bumping into furniture while in a walker. Walkers can give parents a false impression that their babies are truly mobile and can control their actions. Some parents even leave their babies alone to navigate their way around the home in a walker.

Exersaucers, as well as door jumpers, are much safer alternatives, but none of these options will help your child learn to walk earlier than usual.

Putting a baby in a walker is like giving a teenager a Ferrari - a dangerous risk. That's why, as of April 2007, Canada has banned the sale of baby walkers.
UK data suggests, however, that more accidents and injuries happen in babywalkers than with any other form of baby equipment. This is because they give babies extra speed (a baby can reach up to one metre per second in one zoom), extra height and access to multiple hazards.

Most injuries are caused by falls when the babywalker tips and the baby is thrown downstairs or crashes into furniture, heaters or ovens. There is also an increased risk of your baby being burnt by previously inaccessible objects, such as candles and hot cups of tea. Thirdly, it allows her to reach household poisons, such as perfume, mouthwash or alcohol, left at a previously safe level.

Most people believe that when a baby is occupied in his little 'wagon', he is safe and can be left unsupervised for short periods. In reality, extra vigilance is needed when your baby is in a baby walker and your baby would be safer left on the floor in a hazard-free room. (Read tips on baby-proofing your house).

Walkers won't help your baby learn to walk and in fact, using one too much may even delay her development slightly. A baby needs to roll, crawl, sit and to play on the floor, in order to reach her developmental milestones.

In spite of the worrying statistics, an outright ban on walkers could be unrealistic. Some experts feel they should be designed only for babies over nine months of age who are already sitting and crawling, and are limited in the speed that they can travel. It is compulsory for customers to be given clear safety guidelines when buying a baby walker.

If someone suggests a walker for your baby consider alternatives or, better still, let her exercise on the floor in the good, old-fashioned way.[Ссылки доступны только зарегистрированным пользователям ]

Уважаемые доктора!

Не могли бы вы прокомментировать вот [Ссылки доступны только зарегистрированным пользователям ] ссылку.

Спасибо.

В перерывах между ходунками можно и поползать

В ходунках? Вообще-то следить за детьми - это как кипятить молоко: можно все время стоять "на стрёме", но стОит только на секунду отвернуться - и ... молоко убежало. И не важно в ходунках он будет или вы будете ползать за ним на четвереньках и подстраховывать вручную...
