A. Regarding the milestone a baby will partial neck holding by 3-4 months and complete neck holding by 6 months of age. Turning over the sides come by 3-4 months and baby turns complete over the tummy by 6 months of age . Than baby will start Sitting with support by 6 months of age and by 7 to 8 months baby will sit without support .A baby will start crawling by 8-9 months but this milestone can even be skipped manytimes and in 10 months baby will stand with support. After 12 to 15 months baby will start Walking independently and sometimes it may take even longter but in no case any Walker should be given as it can cause recurrent fall injury and delay in the walking . Any kind of unusual walkingc can be normal for sometime but if it persist longer than it needs evaluation .

A. What are you start to fall by the age of 9 to 10 months only so as of now you have enough time to wait for that nothing to be worried about when the time is right and when your child is completely confident to go for it your child will start crawling as wellWrite Your Answer Here
