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 regular 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 walking. regular encouragement for the child to walk proper language / speech development will start between 18 months of age to 3 years of age. there is no need to worry before that just concentrate on the diet and regular interaction with the child. also speech and language develops properly with more people available to interact with the child avoid usage of tv mobile and laptop because they are the most common reasons for delayed speech and language development. the most important thing is that before speech, understanding of the commands given by the parents should be present. by 18 months if the child is not following basic commands then only you have to meetu the doctor for speech and development assessment. requirement of speechg therapy will also be discussed by your doctor.

A. Hello dear parent! Few babies have delay in their milestones. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil for muscle flexibility and strength. Get your child personally examined by the doctor and seek advice. Good luck and take care
