A. walking with support will come any time between 9 months to 15 months of age. walking without support will come maximum by 18 months of age so before that there is no need to worry and you have to just continue regular diet of thec child( food made from cerealsf pulses fruits veggies milk) as well as baby massage and regular massage will also help in improving the muscle strength which will help in walking. regular encouragement for the child to walk

A. A child may learn to walk independently by the time of 17 months max on the higher side so currently if you feel you can massage the legs of your child with warm mustard all three times in the day hold the hand of your child encourage your child to walk with support and then leave in between and see for how long is your child standing without support or is your child trying to actually make an effort to walk independently
