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 afnd sometimes it may take even longer but in no case any Walker should be avoidedrd as it can cause recurrent fall injury and delay in the walking because the child lacks confidence of walking independently.

A. hi...On an average, a baby can take his first few steps within a year. However, he will still be clumsy, and it can take a few more months before he can start walking without assistance. There are even instances where a baby may take about 18 months to learn how to walk. Use motivators such as their favourite toy. Place them on one end of the room and the toy on the other end. When they crawl all the way to one side, put the toy on the other end. While it may sound frustrating for the child, remember they will be quite thrilled knowing they can crawl and get the toy independently. So it is ok if ur baby has started taking his first steps
