As an individual, the growth and development process of each baby is different, with some early and some late. Similarly, babies' walking is also like this. Some babies may learn it before the age of one, while others may only learn it after the age of one. Baby walks late, parents don't need to be too anxious, they have their own schedule.
The Five Stages of Baby Learning to Walk
Phase 1 (10-11 months)
This is the first stage of a baby's learning to walk. When the baby can hold onto an object and stand steadily, or even stand alone for a while, they can start practicing walking.
Phase 2 (12 months)
Squatting is an important manifestation of this stage. You will find that when the baby stands up with an object, they can still squat down coherently. At this time, you should pay attention to training the baby's three consecutive movements of "standing squatting standing" to enhance the strength of their leg muscles and exercise their body coordination.
Phase 3 (over 12 months)
The baby is already able to walk with objects, and now you can train him to walk with his hands free, starting with one or two steps. At first, you can kneel in front of the baby, stretch out your hands to hold their hands and encourage them to take a step, then slowly release your hands and let them walk towards you.
The fourth stage (about 13 months)
In addition to continuing to train the baby's leg muscles, it is also necessary to train the baby's adaptability to different terrains. For example, at the beginning, he can train in bed, and after a while, he can train on the floor.
Phase 5 (13-15 months)
The baby can now walk very well. At first, it may be a bit shaky and unstable, but gradually it can walk very well. During this period, his desire to explore around him gradually increased. Don't be afraid of him getting hurt and limit his walking range everywhere. You should satisfy his curiosity and exploratory desire, and silently protect him by following behind him. Try to prepare a relatively safe walking environment for him, reduce the chance of him bumping, and move within your line of sight as much as possible.
