Are you worried about your baby’s late learning?

Just don’t, all babies develop at their own growth rates. Pediatricians tell that babies generally start walking at 10-15 months but we found some babies more than 18 months, some even about two years. So actually by ages, you will not be able to predict your baby’s independent walking, you need to depend on some other signs which will lead your baby to walk in the imminent future.

Take a look at below signs that your baby will walk soon:

You need to understand if your baby strengthening his legs to prepare them for walking or not. Take a close look at him and try to find that if he starts pulling up into standing using his hands as support on furniture. Usually, they are not getting ready to walk until they learned how to get themselves upright. Pulling up by taking the support of furniture is the last step before they start walking, so if you see this type of activity hope you will see your baby walking soon.

Secondly, find out if your baby starts cruising or not. Do you know the meaning of cruise? It means walking while holding furniture. After completing his lesson to figure out the process of bending his knees he will start learning weight shifting and forward progression by holding furniture. This stage called cruising. If your baby has already started cruising, it means you will see his first independent step very soon.

As your baby becomes stronger you may find him starting to climb onto furniture. This is another sign that your baby is developing his muscle gradually and he is learning to be balanced needed to work independently.

Your baby may ask your help to stand up from sitting position, sometimes he may cry for your help or try to pull your clothes as support.

Finally, your baby will try to stand up without the help of any objective. As long as he is able to stand, his confidence will grow up. After being enough confident he will put his first step independently. It’s not that he will never fall, he may fall but he will not stop trying as he gathered enough confidence.
