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 even longer but in no case any Walker should be aavoided as it can cause recurrent fall injury and delay in the waflking because the child lacks confidence of walking independently.

A. thank you for reaching out to this question no is absolutely normal for babies to fall after a couple of that and give the balance so don't worry about it just just make sure that you are around also do not give any big reaction if she falls
