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
