A. It is typical for babies to start walking between 9 and 18 months of age, so if your baby has not taken their first steps by 18 months, it may be worth discussing with your pediatrician. However, some babies may develop at a different pace and may start walking later.If a baby is not walking by 16-23 months, a medical examination should be conducted to check their muscle strength, range of motion, and joint flexibility. Delayed walking could be an initial warning sign for cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or other genetic conditions.Stand behind your child, place your hands around his upper arms, and pull him up to a standing position. Gently pull one arm forward and then the other. His feet will naturally follow as he rotates his hips to step. Keep practicing walking until your baby is ready to stop.
