How can I help my baby to walk when she wants to do it all the time?

Hello!

Should I be helping 9 month old to walk? It’s hard on my back and I want her to learn independence.

you could always get some of those toys that encourage walking like prams, those convertible bikes (we have a dinosaur that they can walk behind then clip the back together to make a bike seat), or just lt bub walk around the furniture

Your baby needs to build their leg muscles before they can support themselves. If you can’t do it (bend over) then find an alternative – jolly jumper or walker.

Create a little obstacle with chairs for her to move around & gradually increase the distance between chairs as she gets stronger. She will be independent soon enough, just encourage her gently & one day she may just take off

Try letting her cruise along furniture or if they has one of these little trolley or activity walkers that she can push around that will help her quite a bit.
