Their pediatrician recommended letting them fall while in the initial stages of learning to stand and grab for support? You don’t have the pediatrician’s name or office # do you?
Why would they have the name/number of his boss's pediatrician and Why would they supply it to some random trying to argue him?
Just googling it I found multiple parenting threads agreeing with OP including this article that says on average babies fall more than a dozen times an hour while learning to walk.
You're wasting your time. The people you're "debating" with either have no children, or are hovering/hovered over the One child they had, ignoring all written advice and avoiding any medical professionals that "thought" they knew "so much".
Why would you post an article that doesn’t even mention the topic you’re talking about? It’s not talking about handholding while learning to walk; it’s not talking about the developmental stages of learning to walk in environments that could be hazardous to a baby to fall in. Cherry-picked crap research that’s not even salient to the topic.
