POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. Babies typically start walking anywhere between 9 and 18 months, but the timeline can vary greatly from one child to another. If your baby isn’t walking by 18 months, it’s often still within the normal range. However, there are a few signs to watch for that might suggest it's time to consult a pediatrician:
1. No efforts to stand or walk: If by 18 months, your baby isn’t trying to stand or walk, even with support.
2. Poor muscle tone: If your baby seems very stiff or floppy and has difficulty bearing weight on their legs.
3. Lack of motor development milestones: If your baby isn’t crawling, pulling to stand, or cruising (walking while holding furniture) by 12 to 15 months.
4. Balance issues: If your baby frequently falls or has difficulty balancing while trying to stand or walk.
5. Delayed other milestones: If your baby is delayed in other areas of development, such as speech, social skills, or fine motor skills (grasping objects).
If your baby is showing any of these signs, or if you're simply concerned, it’s always a good idea to consult your pediatrician to ensure everything is on track.
How old is your baby, and are they showing interest in standing or walking?
