15 months old baby development

2025-03-16 17:00:18
My 15 months (14 months corrected) old baby can crawl very fast and cruise along with furniture but he has not yet started independent walking. He can stand for 2-3 seconds independently. How to encourage him to walk independently? Is it concerning? Other milestones are okay as of now. He is vocal and social. He has been cruising since the last day of January.

Dear Parent, Thank you for sharing your concerns about your little one’s development. Based on the details provided, your baby’s progress aligns well with typical developmental timelines. At 14 months corrected age cruising, crawling, and standing briefly independently are all positive signs that walking is on the horizon. Most children walk independently between 12-18 months (or even later) and some take a little longer to gain confidence. Since your baby is vocal, social, and meeting other milestones, there’s no immediate cause for concern. Please consult to know how to encourage standing and walking. Mandatory to consult if - If there’s no progress by 18 months corrected age (e.g., no steps, pulling to stand, or cruising). - If you notice stiffness, weakness, regression, or asymmetry in movement. For now, keep celebrating their efforts! If you’d like personalized guidance or reassurance, we’re here to schedule a consultation. Warm regards, Dr. Chahat Saxena
