A. There are two things either your child is just scared of walking independently with the fear of falling down all your child is having some issues now it is high time that you visit your doctor because it is a delay in reaching the milestone

Q. #asktheexperts My son is 17+ months now but he is not walking independently. He can stand on his own, might take 2-3 steps and then sits down. He however walks freely by holding anything, e.g. holding someone finger, he walks with walker freely. Other developmental activities are normal.
