WHAT AGE SHOWS YOUR BBE?
This issue is complex and simple at the same time. It's not about age, it's about your baby's evolution. Some babies walk nine months away at 16 months, it doesn't prove anything, but it's a fact. One can start putting shoes on babies when they start standing up without walking, i.e. around the age of 9 months or older, depending on the babies.
Every baby develops at its own pace, no stress for moms, who hear in the playgrounds "I mine it walks at 9 months, I mine it already speaks at a year, month mine eats of everything, month mine makes long naps and is never sick etc.. In short, each baby is different and evolves in the way that best suits it. Some babies are very happy to walk on four legs up to 18 months and over, so a good pair of soft shoes will help when he starts standing along chairs and tables.
I propose to classify your baby into different categories, according to their stage of advancement in locomotion:
- Foodie, your baby isn't moving yet.
- Your baby moves on four legs or in any other way, but not standing.
- Your baby stands up and walks as she stands.
- Your baby moves easily up.

Normally, at this age, your baby does not need shoes, except to keep him warm on foot or to get on his 31! He needs soft leather slippers, lined in winter or airy in summer. In no case are heavy shoes with soles that risk turning his feet in pushchairs outwards. Leave your feet to the maximum free for an ideal development.
We've gone to a higher stage, your baby explores the surroundings, he's crapping, crawling, jumping on his buttocks, driving, in short he's moving, but not yet on his two legs. Baby shoes are not at all necessary, just baby leather slippers to protect it or for outings. Patience, the rest will come faster than you think
For his first steps, standing, hanging on everything he finds, baby experiences a new dimension! At this point, no need to jump to your favorite shoe site, Boni & Sidonie, your baby is very good feet in the air.. Indeed, at this age its feet are composed of flexible cartilage, and therefore malleable. He will best muscle his feet and will have more comfort the petons free. To protect him, you can put soft leather slippers on him, but not yet shoes with soles, except in the case of exteriors.
And here he is, he's waking, running, doing like a "big"! He approaches his 18 months, when his feet begin to strengthen, cartilage becomes bone. Time to buy her baby shoes, real shoes with soles! And there's a new question: what baby shoe?
