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.

A. Looking at with what you are mentioning seems like your child is only scared of falling down and getting hurt if your child is comfortably and freely walking by holding your finger also then I think there is no problem but still check with your doctor once
