Every parent knows that to take a child for up to a yearextremely difficult: this is the most curious creation, which requires constant attention. Naturally, in our age of modern technology, manufacturers offer a huge range of all kinds of devices designed to facilitate the life of young parents: they are walkers, jumpers, chaise lounges, development centers. In this article in detail we will consider such entertainment for the child, as children's jumper.
The negative impact of javelins
Despite the great popularity of the jumpercause a lot of controversy over their benefits or harm. The first question that interests parents: "How many months can you put in jumpers?" The packaging of this device, as a rule, indicates the age - from 3 months to 3 years. What can threaten a jumper three months old baby? Further problems with the back and the whole musculoskeletal system as a whole. At such an early age, the muscles of the back are so weak that entertainment in the form of jumpers will be a real test. This kind of entertainment for children can not fully provide support for the back, and all support will have to the perineal region (which also does not bring benefits) and fragile bones of the spine. Thus, wanting to get a few minutes of rest or the opportunity to do their own business, parents put their baby in great danger, because violations of the musculoskeletal system will affect the work of the entire body, causing violations in almost all organs.
So, to the question "How many months can you plantin jumpers? "The doctors give an unambiguous answer. This will not harm the child only if the back muscles are slightly strengthened, and the baby can sit on his own, which means, not earlier than 6-7 months.
Another negative point:Children's jumps contribute to the wrong setting of the foot. In this device, the child pushes with both feet, remembering this feeling, he, and learning to walk, will try to push off too, and therefore, will constantly fall. For this reason, children, who often were in jumps, begin to walk after their peers.
The danger of jumping
Of course, jumping can give a childa few minutes of happiness, to develop his horizons, but with careless use they become dangerous for the life and health of the baby. Firstly, with insufficiently strong fastening, they can break, then a small researcher will be hit hard on the floor, at best he will land on the ass, but it is possible that the child will hit and head.
In addition, fragile children's bones should notTo be exposed to such loading which is given in jumpers. This is fraught with deformities of the legs, in which they can even forbid walking. The load on the crotch too will not be of use to the baby.
Not all parents know how many months you canto put in a child's jumper. The use of this device for a child who is not ready physically for this type of workload can result not only in injuries, but in the wrong formation of the skeleton.
The positive side of using javelins
Jumps can not only harm, but alsogive benefit. Everything will depend on when parents put their children in jumping. From 6-7 months, when the baby can sit on his own, you can purchase a properly made and manufactured device that will help your child strengthen muscles and broaden his horizons. About how to choose a jumper, we'll tell you just below.
What are jumpers for?
So, you have the right device, grown upa child and a desire to bring him joy. You have already consulted a pediatrician and you know how many months you can put in jumpers. Why not use this device? The main thing to remember is that in no case should you leave the child in jumps without supervision. And the duration of such classes should not exceed 30 minutes a day. Fulfilling these conditions, you will not only cheer your baby and strengthen his muscles, you can come up with new games, show the child a new, unknown to him world around him.
As soon as the child reaches the age whenyou can put in jumpers, that is 6-7 months, they become for him an excellent developing device, because before that he could not move, crawl, and therefore could not cognize the world. Now he sees everything in a new plane and receives a lot of positive emotions. But if you try to put a one-year-old baby in this device, this is unlikely to do him good, as this will restrict freedom of movement, the desire to explore new things. Of the positive moments, only the delight of jumping will remain. But also it is quite good, if it lasts no more than 15 minutes. After such physical exertion, children fall asleep more easily.
How to choose a jumper
When choosing this simulator, pay attention to all the attached certificates of quality and conformity. Jumps should be made of safe and non-toxic materials.
Children's jumping can be of several types:
- With a plastic bumper.Thanks to the presence of a plastic table on which buttons and a music panel with toys are located, the child will not hit the door jamb. But there is also a minus in this model: the kid does not see his legs, which means that his movements with his feet are not fully realized.
- With a seat-panties.This option is quite cheap, but this is the end of its pluses. If the model is not equipped with special fixing belts and bolsters to support the child under the armpits, then all the load in such jumper will be on the crotch, and this is strictly prohibited.
- There is one more, the best (and expensive option) - jumping with support on the floor. This is a fairly heavy and cumbersome design, which will require a lot of free space (about 4 m2). But this model is the most safe for the child.
Parent's decision
