You need not use baby walker. You think you are traing you child. No , once thechild developed and start a litle then you can buy him baby walker to be able to move with safety. Now the baby is safe.Can not fall.

Baby walker is not safe and not recommended. It will also delay her milestones of walking. Kids should achieve milestones on their own.

At 6 months the baby can sit with the support of hands
Only after the age of 11 months the baby can walk
So please don’t use walkers as they are not recommended for babies
Now you can speak to the baby, show some pictures, say short stories if she is interested. This will improve her speaking

A child usually starts to walk by 11-12 months. Using a walker early at this stage won't make them walk and run faster. It can actually cause over strain in their developing legs. I would advise against using it
Next Steps
Give them their own time and space. they will do it on their own.
