A. walking with support will come any time between 9 months to 15 months of age. walking without support will come maximum by 18 months of age so before that there is no need to worry and you have to just continue reguldar diet of the child( food made from cereals pulses fruits veggies milk) as well as baby massage and regular massage will also help in improving the muscle strength which will help in wdalking. regular encouragement for the child to walk

A. Give it two more months if you do not see that happening by the time of 17 months you can check with the doctor and also right now I will suggest you to check how long is your child standing without any support even if the child is doing it for 10 to 15 seconds that’s a good approach because as the child will gain further confidence independent working will also come currently I would suggest you to massage the legs with mustard oil two times in the day
