Children's shoes: how to put on babies?
From when should we put it on? How big is it? What is a good pair of shoes? You may find questions to all your answers below:
Shoes ... for sure, but from when?
Opinions are still very divided among specialists. Some believe that it is necessary to wait until baby walk for at least three months otherwise the foot does not muscle. Others think that toddlers can be shod from the moment they stand up and stay in that position for a while.
When to find shoes to his feet?
This step is not always easy. Your child never says that these shoes are too small. It's up to you to watch because between 9 and 24 months, the foot will take several centimeters! And you should know that between 1 and 2 years, you will buy new pairs of shoes ... about every four months.
What is the exact size of baby?
When you go to the shoe store, the saleswoman will present a "pedometer" that will tell you its size. Mom will be fixed then.
How fast do his feet grow?
Your baby will pass from 12 to 24 (approximately) during the first thirty-six months of its existence. Indeed, it will be between 16 and 18 between 9 and 12 months and between 18 and 26 between 1 and 2 years.
What is a good shoe?
- The shoe must be leather and antiallergic.
- The top and the leather lining of the shoe breathe the foot unlike synthetic materials.
- The sole must be slip-resistant and of maximum thickness.
- Check stiffness of shanks and buttresses for lateral heel stability.
- The upper (part of the shoe that covers the foot) must be high enough to avoid heaving.
- The opening must be wide enough to facilitate the boot.
- The first pairs of shoes must be equipped with laces.
In summary, a pair of good quality shoes will not be too heavy, too stiff or too high. If these first shoes are poorly adapted, the balance necessary for the acquisition of walking may be disrupted. During the first few months, the child's foot should not be "squeezed" all day in a pair of shoes. It must also be left barefoot. It is from the third month of walking that the child can wear shoes baby permanently.
A pair of shoes ... it's personal!
Baby has its own evolution and physiognomy. Therefore, it is not advisable to use shoes that belonged to the big brother, the big sister or that were bought on occasion. The material of the shoe generally adapts to the shape of the foot and the walking of baby. Deformed shoes may cause orthopedic damage in your child.
Do's and don'ts
-Prefer shoes when he walks home on a hard and smooth floor.
-Let his bare foot on the beach or on soft ground. The feet will learn to contract to improve their grip and maintain the balance of the body.
-Prefer laces to scratches for better support.
-Avoid arched shoes. The babies have flat feet for the simple reason that the vault is not yet formed.
