A. walking with support will come any time between 9 months to 15 months of age. walking without support will come maximum by 18 months of age so before that there is no need to worry and you have to just continue regular diet of the child( food made from cerealsz pulses fruits veggies milk) as well as baby massage and regular massage will also help in improving the muscle strength which will help in walking. regular encouragement for the child to walk

Q. Hi Doctor My son who is 16 months now is walking on knees without hand support (like knees down ). He almost stopped crawling and only walking with knees. He walks with support and trying to stand on own. Is walking on knees a concern ? We haven't used walker. Can we get him a walker now to change this habit ? please advise. Thanks in advance.
