Baby not walking
My 16 month old boy is growing up properly and touching all the milestones but why hasn't he started walking yet. He stands and moves with support but whenever I try to make him walk he forcefully sits on the floor. His weight is also good. Eats all the home cooked food with fruits and vegetables. Someone told me he might have some vitamin deficiency...should I take him to a Paediatrician or wait for some more time?
