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

A. Cruise and Kick: As your infant is holding onto furniture while cruising, place a foam ball on the floor next to her feet. She may accidently kick the ball at first, but as you keep putting it back by her feet, she will start raising one foot to kick the ball on purpose. Place the ball on both sides of her body so she can practice kicking with both feet.

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.
