When does baby learn how to walk?

Babies typically start walking independently between 9 and 15 months of age.

Here's a breakdown of the typical stages of walking development:

* 6-10 months: Crawling and cruising (walking while holding onto furniture)

* 7-13 months: Pulling to a stand

* 9-15 months: Walking independently

* 15-18 months: Running and climbing

It's important to note:

* These are just averages, and every baby develops at their own pace. Some babies may walk earlier or later than others.

* There's no need to worry if your baby isn't walking by a certain age. If you have any concerns, talk to your pediatrician.

* Encourage your baby's development by providing opportunities for them to move and explore their environment.

Factors that can influence walking development:

* Genetics: Some babies inherit a predisposition to walk earlier or later than others.

* Gender: Boys tend to walk slightly later than girls.

* Prematurity: Premature babies may take longer to reach developmental milestones.

* Environment: A stimulating environment with plenty of opportunities to move and explore can help babies learn to walk sooner.

* Physical development: Some babies may have physical limitations that delay walking development.

Tips to encourage walking:

* Provide a safe and stimulating environment: Remove obstacles and provide open spaces for your baby to explore.

* Encourage movement: Play games that encourage crawling, cruising, and standing.

* Offer support: Hold your baby's hands or use a walker to help them practice walking.

* Be patient: Every baby develops at their own pace. Don't pressure your baby to walk before they're ready.

If you have any concerns about your baby's development, talk to your pediatrician. They can assess your baby's progress and offer guidance and support.
