43 Weeks old Baby
Time for a little shoe shopping — for your baby, that is. Once she starts walking, they’ll help protect her feet if she wants to give it a go in public places or potentially unsafe surfaces, like a concrete driveway or splintery deck. But while you’re indoors, it’s best to let your baby practice walking barefoot (this actually helps her balance better).
Choose shoes with a hard-ish sole and breathable fabric (because those little feet sweat!). And remember: Fit is key. If they’re too big they’ll make her trip and fall — and if they’re too snug, well, ouch! A little wiggle room in the toe is fine. Your best bet is to head to a children’s shoe store and have a pro measure her foot and show you how to gauge a good fit.
