A. Thanks to your response doctor I am not giving him a walker at around 7-8 months I have given him only for max 30 min a day. still he is lacking walking skills and his weight is also around 9 kgs only. that's what is making me more restless 😞

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 cjiase any Walker should be avoided as it can cause recurrent fall injury and delay in the walking because the child lacks confidence of walking indegpendently.

A. Hello Abhaya mam, I am doing massages daily and trying to make him walk to but he is too scared to walk alone. he won't take a step ahead without support.

A. Hello there mam, please do not worry about it too much. The baby will start walking in few days. Massage baby legs with coconut oil twice a day. Also make the baby walk by holding one finger and try to leave support in between. Thanks and take care
