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

A. Add this age I would agree if the child is not working independently but definitely walk through and through with support without any problem if your child is not doing that that means maybe there is not enough strength into their legs of your child I would advise you to kindly Kari check with the paediatrician and massaging is a very important part in Indian tradition for a growth of the child because it actually gives overall strength to the body and legs
