Hi my baby boy is 20 months old and he is afraid to walk independently ,however he holds wall / sofas to walk...should i see the pediatrician or should i wait until 2 years old
Continue to practice walking with your baby multiple times throughout the day. Walk around holding her hands to reassure her. Then as she becomes more confident in walking, start to decrease the help you provide to hold her up, and give her the opportunity to walk on her own.
My baby boy is now 14months...he is walking with support , and walking on holding my one hand. But if I leav him alone to walk he does not take steps...he is good in climbing stairs , waling with support nd holding my hands...but he is not tring to stand without support nd walk.. iam encouraging him daily ..bt sometimes I'm worried abt it... When wl he walk on his own? Or I need to worry abt it ?
Priya thank you for your question. It sounds like your baby can walk, but just lacks the confidence to do it on his own. We give children until 18 months to walk independently. Continue to give your baby plenty of practice.
Yes the toys on the push walkers are engaging to the baby, and it's fine to let your son spend time playing with them. After giving him time to play with the toys, then encourage him to hold onto the push walker and practice walking.
I'am worried. My son is turning 14 months old on this month day of 19, my baby can walk independently few steps only. When he walk alone he tends not to balance his head and fall his back, many times his head had fall because of walking, i'm really worried but his okay 😞i teach him to walk every morning and afternoon😞
It’s normal for babies to fall a good amount in the first several months of walking. The more your baby practices, the better he will become with keeping his balance when walking.
My son started pushing himself up with his legs. He was 7 weeks when he started doing this. He’s now 10 weeks. Is it okay to allow him to do this. A person told me he’s too young and can hurt his bones because he’s too young. I don’t believe that but can you answer this question for me?
I really appreciate your video and thank you for replying. Our baby boy is such a joyful baby. And I love seeing him grow and I love watching what he does. Once again, thank you for helping me have peace of mind 😌
Hi Blessy. Several of the first exercises in this video work well for teaching the baby to stand. You can stand your baby with hands resting on a couch, while you spot and assist when the baby needs your support. Having your baby standing and supporting the full body weight while you provide light support by holding the hands also helps the baby become confident in standing.
We like to see the baby walk by 18 months of age. Keep practicing with your baby and if she does not walk on her own by then, speak to her medical provider about additional therapy that might help her learn to walk.
Thank you so much for this video! My daughter is 10 months and is starting to stand on her own she is also getting more confident taking steps while only holding on with one hand. I am always worried about falls and hits to the head, but I’ve heard many people say babies need this to learn. If I stop her from falling too much right now will this hinder her learning to walk? I’m afraid of her falling on hard floors or hitting her head on other hard surfaces.
Hannah thank you for your feedback! It's exciting that your daughter is starting the journey or learning to walk. As long as you're giving her the opportunity to practice without holding on to her the entire time, by catching her when she starts to topple over, you're not hindering her learning to walk.
My youngest daughter it will turn 1 this coming Wednesday, she's standing on her own at 10.5 months then everyday we practice how to balance yup she hurt herself many times I just make it sure she will never hit her head on the floor but after 3 to 4 time's of fallen she learned how to support herself so she wouldn't get hurt, last couple of weeks she hust took her first step
My baby will be ten months tomorrow and he doesn’t full crawl. He’ll just drag himself backwards but doesn’t go forward. He doesn’t like me having him stand either. He immediately would want to sit. Though when he was around 6 o 7 months, he was standing very firmly with my help and would no fuss about it. He always hated tummy time too now that I think about it. He would cry as if I was doing something hurtful to him. Any ideas of what I can do?
Marisol I appreciate you asking my input. There are six different crawling styles. Not all babies will do the classic hands and knees crawl. I talk about them all in this video: th-cam.com/video/VYlz_j0V4Qk/w-d-xo.html It sounds to me like your baby might be doing the commando crawling style. It's amazing how babies change month to month. At one point he enjoyed standing with your support, now he doesn't want to. I encourage you to keep practicing with your baby. Put items that he wants to get, a little out of reach to encourage him to move towards them. When he's ready, he will start to stand for longer periods of time and take steps.
For children we recommend giving them a good range of vegetables, fruits, proteins and whole grains. We absorb vitamins and minerals better from food than from taking supplements. Focus on providing your baby with a good variety of foods. You can speak to the baby’s medical provider about checking for anemia. If the baby does have it, they will recommend the right supplement to give.
Hi Suman. I encourage you to devote time several times a day to get your daughter on her feet to practice walking. Any of the exercises I mention will work, but you can do the exercises that work best for your daughter. Give her opportunity to become more comfortable walking with your assistance, or holding onto furniture, before letting go to see if she will take steps on her own. Sometimes I find that babies who get around with bum shuffling are not as motivated to learn to walk on their own, because they can get around. By getting her to practice walking, you will make her more confident in getting around that way.
Hii my baby girl 8 month till now she unable to sit directly if we put her in sitting position she able to sit for few minutes please will you tell me how my baby will sit directly
Thank you for watching this video. I have a separate video that goes into detail on how to teach a baby to sit: th-cam.com/video/r95Ofh3db_w/w-d-xo.html By doing the exercises in that video, you will be able to teach your baby to sit directly.
Hi Friendly Kid Doc. Thanks for this amazing information. Looking forward to implementing these techniques with my 10th month old daughter. I have a question though. She hasn't learned how to crawl yet. She hasn't learned to transition from sitting to standing position as well, but she's able to sit without support for extended periods of time. Is it okay if I help her to walk with the techniques you've shown in this video? Thanks a lot , - An anxious dad :)
Thank you for watching! It’s fine for you to practice these techniques with your 10 month old. If your baby isn’t crawling yet, I have a video that demonstrates exercises to do to teach the baby to crawl as well.
I'm a new Dad trying to teach my baby girl to walk. Thanks for this video. I learned a lot!

@@priyavennila1600 stop holding your baby hands and instead hold your baby by his ribs that way he won’t rely on you for suppressing.
I’m in the same now with my baby. When did your baby walked? I see your comment was a year ago.
Great advice about the baby walkers!
Thank you for your feedback Mark.
Great info, thank you! Looking forward to implementing this with our baby!

@@friendlykiddoc8796 thank you so much, he's walking now alone but sometimes he cannot balance, and he's running also that's the cause of falling

You are correct, your son will not hurt his bones or his spine from doing this.
