When Baobao was first born, apart from breastfeeding and crying, most of the time was spent sleeping. However, as the baby grows and develops, they will gradually learn other different behavioral movements, such as lifting their head, turning over, sitting and standing, crawling, standing, and walking. Recently, a mother asked, what if the baby cannot walk at 16 months old?
Under normal circumstances, most babies start learning to walk at 12 months old. However, due to the different physical conditions and nutrient intake of each baby, their growth and development rates may vary slightly. Therefore, some babies may learn to walk earlier, while others may learn to walk later. As long as they are under 2 years old, it is considered normal.
If a mother wants her baby to learn how to walk, she must first teach them how to stand up. When learning to stand up, she can help the baby stand up on the bed or wall. After the baby learns to stand slightly, the mother can use her hands to support the baby's armpits, slowly move the baby's body, and let the baby get used to the feeling of walking. She can also educate the baby to slowly support things to walk.
If the baby still cannot learn to walk after the age of 2, the mother should take the baby for medical treatment as soon as possible. In addition, the mother should know that letting the baby learn to walk too early is not good. Walking too early is not good for the baby's spine and leg development, and may cause the baby's spine to bend and deform, and may also cause the baby to have O or X-shaped legs.
