A. Hello, your baby girl is 17 months old and she used to walk around but today suddenly she is afraid of walking so don’t worry just use cotton socks upto knee joints and calcium vitamin d3 supplements

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 vbaby will start Walking independently f and sometimes it may take even longer but in no case any Walker should be avoided as it can cause recurrent fall injury and delay in the walking because the child lacks confidence of walking independently.
