Baby not able to walk

2025-04-09 09:45:09
My baby is 10 months old. His height and weight are normal, but he is not able to crawl on his knees or walk yet — he only moves around in a walker. Please suggest what to do

We don’t expect the child to walk at 10 months .. some kids learn to walk without learning to crawl.. if all other milestones were achieved at proper age.. just monitor for 2-3 months more.. refrain from using walker.. if in doubt.. always visit your Paediatrician.
Next Steps
Watchful wait for 2-3 months.. if all other milestones as per the age…
Health Tips
Always visit your Pediatrician if in doubt
