POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. It’s okay—no need to say sorry. At 16 months, if your baby is not yet walking independently but stands or walks with support, she may just need a little more time and encouragement. Every child develops at their own pace. To help her walk, give her plenty of floor time and let her practice standing and cruising along furniture. Encourage her with toys placed slightly out of reach or hold her hands and slowly guide her. Barefoot walking indoors helps strengthen her balance. You can also use a sturdy push toy for support. Ensure she’s getting a balanced diet with enough iron, vitamin D, and calcium, which are important for bone and muscle development. If she shows no sign of trying to walk at all or seems weak, a pediatric check-up is advised to rule out any developmental delays.
