A. a baby will start Sitting with support by 6 months of age and by 7 to 8 months baby will sit without support than by 9 months usually baby crawls and in 10 months baby will stand with support. After 12 to 15 months baby will start Walking independently and sometimes it may take even longer but in no case any Walker should be advoided as it can cause recurrent fall injury and delay in the walking because the child lacks confidence of walking independenfxtly.

Q. #asktheexperts My son is 17+ months now but he is not walking independently. He can stand on his own, might take 2-3 steps and then sits down. He however walks freely by holding anything, e.g. holding someone finger, he walks with walker freely. Other developmental activities are normal.
