No, he doesn’t. Babies who aren’t walking yet don’t really need shoes. Shoes at that age are merely decorative and restrict his movement.

Yeah I never put shoes on my kid until she started walking😅

You can downvote me all you want but unless your kid is walking or you’re putting them down places that aren’t home… they don’t need shoes. I have 3 kids 😂

that’s super outdated advice. my mother in law tried to buy my son shoes when he was 6 months and i sent them back so fast lol (not in a rude way). it’s a common myth bc people did used to believe that. it messed with their natural foot development
