POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. It's not uncommon for babies to take longer to start walking independently, especially around 13 months. Typically, babies begin walking anywhere between 9 to 18 months, so your baby might still be within the normal range.
Here are some things to consider:
1. Physical Development: Babies develop at different rates. Some children take longer to develop strength and coordination to walk without support.
2. Muscle Strength: Walking requires muscle strength, balance, and coordination. If your baby is cruising (holding onto furniture and walking with support), it's a good sign that they're getting closer to walking on their own.
3. Other Milestones: Ensure your baby is meeting other milestones such as sitting up, standing with support, or crawling. If they are progressing in these areas, walking might just take a bit more time.
What you can do:
Encourage standing and walking with support (e.g., holding hands or using a push toy).
Provide a safe environment for your baby to practice.
Limit the use of walkers, as they can sometimes delay walking.
However, if you're concerned about your baby’s development or if they show signs of weakness, stiffness, or difficulty moving, it may be helpful to consult a pediatrician for an evaluation.
