POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. It's common for children to reach developmental milestones at different times. At one year, many babies are just starting to stand with support or may be able to take a few steps while holding onto something. However, some babies may take longer to start walking independently, and that can still be completely normal.
There are a few things you can do to encourage your child:
1. Tummy time: This helps build the muscles needed for standing and walking. Make sure she has plenty of supervised tummy time.
2. Supportive shoes or barefoot: Allow her to walk while holding onto furniture or your hands. Avoid restrictive shoes and let her walk barefoot to strengthen her feet and legs.
3. Play and motivation: Use toys or your own encouragement to motivate her to move. You can place objects or toys just out of reach to encourage her to stand or take steps.
4. Consult a pediatrician: If you're concerned, it’s always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues, though delayed walking is often not a cause for concern.
Every child develops at their own pace, so try not to worry too much if she's not walking yet.
