Hello
Walking typically begins between 12–18 months
Standing without support is a positive milestone — indicates good muscle strength and coordination
Many children take their first steps around 13–15 months
Next Steps
Allow barefoot time indoors for better grip and balance
Let the child cruise along furniture
Use push toys or encourage walking between two people
Avoid excessive use of walkers — can delay natural balance development
Ensure a safe, obstacle-free space
Weight (7.5 kg) is below the 3rd percentile for age — but if the child is active and otherwise healthy, it may be constitutional
Nutrient-rich diet: ghee, banana, egg, rice, dal, curd, nuts (powdered), etc.
Monitor growth monthly
