Can premature babies use walkers?

Patient's question:

My child is different from other children; he is a premature baby. Can I use a walker for him when he starts to learn to walk?

Doctor's answer:

Do not use walkers for premature infants. At 6 months, parents should not be too upset about their child and must reduce the time spent holding the child, allowing the child to move on the bed or floor without getting tired. You can buy foam mats to lay on the living room floor to prepare for crawling. Do not use baby walkers, as they can affect the child's natural development process.
