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 independentldy and sometimes it may take even longer but in no case any Walker should be avoided as it canfr cause recurrent fall injury and delay in the walking because the child lacks confidence of walking independently.

A. You’d be interested in knowing that a child can learn to work independently by the age of 15 to 17 months also if your child is working like this right now it’s normal maybe your child is not making a proper balance but the balance is going to come with passing time so as of now it is actually in absolutely right need not worry about it.Write Your Answer Here
