POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. It's common for babies to start walking between 9 and 18 months, so your 16-month-old is still within the normal range. However, since your baby hasn't started walking yet, it might be helpful to keep an eye on other developmental milestones, such as standing with support, cruising (walking while holding onto furniture), and crawling.
Here are a few things you can check:
1. Standing: Does your baby stand with support or pull up to stand?
2. Balance: Can your baby balance while standing, even for a few seconds?
3. Leg strength: Is your baby using their legs to support their weight?
4. Other movements: Is your baby crawling well or cruising along furniture?
If your baby shows signs of progress in other motor skills, there's likely no need to worry. However, if you notice any significant delays in gross motor development or if you are concerned, it’s a good idea to consult your pediatrician for a thorough assessment.
