How old are babies when they learn how to walk?

Most babies start walking independently between 9 and 15 months of age. However, this is just a general guideline. Some babies might walk earlier, while others might take longer.

Here are some factors that can affect when a baby starts walking:

* Genetics: If parents walked early, their child is more likely to walk earlier.

* Gender: Girls tend to walk slightly earlier than boys.

* Premature birth: Premature babies might take longer to walk.

* Muscle tone and development: Babies with strong muscles might walk earlier.

* Environment: Babies who have plenty of opportunities to practice walking and explore their environment are more likely to walk earlier.

It's important to remember that every baby develops at their own pace. Don't worry if your baby isn't walking yet if they are within the normal range.

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