How old can a baby wear shoes?

When the baby is born, he can't walk. At this time, the baby doesn't need to wear shoes, just wear a pair of small socks. As the baby grows up day by day, the baby will need to wear shoes, so how old can the baby wear shoes? What harm can the baby cause if he wears shoes improperly? How does a mother choose comfortable shoes for her baby?

1. How old can a baby wear shoes?

When the baby begins to learn to stand, the mother should consider choosing a pair of suitable shoes for the baby. Under the age of baby 1, there is no need for mother to wear shoes for the baby. Most of the baby's bare feet are beneficial, so it is best not to wear shoes for the baby before he learns to stand, because the baby's feet and bones are developing at this time, and wearing shoes too early will hinder the baby's future walking posture.

1, How to wear shoes at the beginning of baby's toddler?

The baby began to learn to walk, and the baby just learned to stand. At this time, you can choose shoes with thin soft soles for your baby to wear, which can increase the contact area between your baby and the ground and exercise your baby's balance ability. Shoes should not be too hard, otherwise the baby will feel uncomfortable.

2, baby toddler period

The baby is in the toddler stage. At this time, the baby can walk slowly. At this time, mom can buy toddler shoes with flexible front feet, which are easy to twist. The baby has just begun to develop, the tissue elasticity of the foot bone is large, and the foot is also injured. Learn to walk without wearing too hard shoes.

Second, what are the hazards of improper shoes for babies?

Parenting experts say that most babies wear inappropriate shoes because of their parents' negligence, which affects the baby's footstep development. What are the main hazards that endanger the baby's walking posture?

1, improper choice of baby shoes will easily increase the probability of flat feet. If a pair of shoes are not supported by the arch, it is easy for the baby to have flat feet. Because the arch is too flat, the baby will obviously feel uncomfortable when he grows up. Walking posture will also be ugly.

2, affecting the baby's foot education. The baby's feet are not fully developed, and the functions in all aspects are not perfect as adults. The baby's feet are mainly supported by cartilage. Once shoes are improperly worn, it is easy to cause foot shape. If the shoes are too tight, it is easy to tie the baby's feet. If it is too loose, the baby will easily fall down.

3, the baby wears shoes improperly, which easily affects the baby's appetite. Too tight shoes will hinder the baby's metabolism and blood circulation, and it is easy to be picky about food, leading to malnutrition of the baby.

Third, how to choose the right shoes for your baby

Children's feet are not miniature versions of adult feet. Their foot bone is calcified cartilage, and the bone tissue is elastic and easy to deform. A pair of suitable shoes determines the correct walking posture of the baby.

Baby's feet curl easily. When choosing shoes for your baby, you must let your baby try them on in order to choose the shoes that suit your baby. At the same time, after the baby puts on the shoes, be sure to let the baby's hind foot stick to the back side, or the hind foot is one finger wide from the back side. So when choosing baby shoes, the softer the shoes, the better? Baby jumping shoes must pay attention to the following four points:

Point 1: The baby's upper (especially the head) should not be too soft, otherwise it will be difficult to resist the impact of hard objects on the toes. The baby has the habit of kicking things when walking, and the excessively soft upper is neither strong nor safe. But the vamp at the instep should be softer to facilitate the bending of the foot.

Point 2: the heel counter should support and wrap the ankle to reduce the movement of the foot in the shoe. Babies' feet are 70% cartilage, which makes them extremely unstable, sensitive and fragile, and their ability to master balance and stability is not strong. If the heel is too soft, it will swing from side to side, especially when walking fast, which will easily cause ankle joint and ligament damage, and may also develop incorrect walking posture.

The third point: the sole should be light, flexible and elastic. Too soft can not only effectively support the soles of the feet, but will make the baby's feet feel tired after a long time.

The fourth point: the comfort of shoes depends on the bending position of the sole in addition to the appropriate hardness. The scientific bending position should be the design of the curved bending groove located at the toe joint of the forefoot, that is, the first third of the forefoot, so that the foot can move from the heel to the big toe correctly and bend along the cross-sectional sole more easily.

From the narration of this article, we can know that babies must wait until a certain age to wear shoes. Inappropriate shoes may cause great harm to the baby, so the problem of putting shoes on the baby must not be underestimated. It is also very important to choose shoes for your baby.
