POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. If your son is 13 months old and is not yet getting up on his own, standing, or walking, it's understandable to be concerned. At this age, many babies start to stand with support and may even take a few steps. However, development varies from child to child, and some take a little longer, especially if they were born premature or have lower muscle strength.
Here are some things you can do:
Encourage physical activity: Let him play on the floor more often. Limit use of walkers or baby chairs for long periods. Support standing practice: Help him stand by holding his hands or placing toys on a low surface he can pull up to. Strengthen leg muscles: Gentle leg massages and activities like cycling motions during diaper changes help. Nutrition: Make sure he’s getting enough calcium, vitamin D, and iron through food or supplements if needed. Checkups: If he was delayed in other milestones (like sitting, crawling, or rolling), it’s best to get him evaluated by a pediatrician or a developmental specialist.
