At this age, climbing is a very healthy sign that shows your baby's gross motor skills are advancing. At the same time it's a dangerous period, so balancing between the two is needed.
Climbing develops core muscles, arm-leg coordination, and problem-solving skills. So it's developmentally a progressive step. But it's also a dangerous period due to high fall risk.
The most practical thing you can do: create a safe area where climbing is allowed. Setting up a thick mat or padded surface with a low step stool or soft toy box that your baby can safely climb on helps meet this need. Meanwhile, make sure unstable shelves and furniture that could tip over are secured to the wall or temporarily blocked.
In short: the activity is very valuable for development, but controlling the danger is in your hands. Within a few weeks, as their balance improves, this phase will also become less intense.
