Not walking independently

2020-09-16 18:15:57
Hello Doctor, My son will be 16 months old on 28th September. He still can't walk independently. Is this delay in walking or can we wait for sometime. He sometimes takes few steps on bed and floor independently but not walking after that just playfully crawls after taking a few steps. He can hold and walk even can climb bed independently. Please suggest.
