A. If your baby has started taking independent steps, that's a great milestone! Most babies walk confidently within a few weeks to 2 months after taking their first steps. However, the timeline can vary depending on muscle strength, balance, and confidence. What to Expect Next? ✔️ 1-2 Weeks – Baby may take a few steps but still rely on support. ✔️ 3-6 Weeks – Walking improves, but occasional falls happen. ✔️ 6-8 Weeks – More confident walking, exploring different surfaces. How to Support Baby’s Walking? ✅ Encourage Walking Daily – Let the baby walk barefoot on safe surfaces to improve balance. ✅ Push Toys or Walkers (Non-Seated) – Helps build stability but should not replace actual walking practice. ✅ Avoid Holding Hands Too Much – Let the baby develop balance independently. ✅ Comfortable Footwear – If needed, use lightweight, flexible shoes when walking outside. If your baby continues to struggle after 3 months, falls excessively, or seems unsteady, consult a pediatrician for guidance. Keep encouraging and celebrating each step!
