  Baby represents the future of the family, and both parents want their baby to grow up healthy. However, the baby's growth path may not always be smooth, and there will always be some ups and downs.

  1. A one year old baby walking outward is not a normal phenomenon and needs to be corrected in a timely manner. If not corrected in a timely manner, the baby may develop the habit of walking outward, which is very bad in the future. But there is a special case, which is 11 months old babies, at this time, the leg joints are still relatively relaxed, and it is easy to have the phenomenon of walking outward, which may gradually improve afterwards.

  2. If a baby always likes to walk with their feet pointing outwards, it may be a habit problem, and parents must correct this bad habit in a timely manner. You can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up and take a picture to see if there are any problems with the baby's leg joints. If not, it may be due to a slight lack of calcium in the baby. Parents only need to add some calcium tablets correctly to their babies.

  3. Generally speaking, when a baby is about 12 months old, parents can exercise the baby to learn how to walk. However, now that the baby's nutritional conditions are better, the baby's walking time can be pushed forward a little earlier, but it is also not advisable to exercise the baby's walking too early, because when the baby is not yet developed enough to support the body, walking may have an impact on the baby's legs.
