As new parents, we wonder what to expect from our children. Keeping track of their milestones is an easy way to help distinguish your infant from a toddler. Each child is very different, but for the most part, begin to walk any where from 8 months to 16 months. The first milestone to walking is the infant sitting up right on their own. Not long after that, the infant will begin to pull themselves up and try to stand. Lastly, the child will attempt to walk or move short distances while holding on.

Key Takeaways:

• Babies start to walk at 8 – 16 months. Some babies are more cautious than others
• Babies will walk if they are ready and sometimes they may walk a bit but go back to crawling which is an important step
• Parents need to let their babies develop naturally. They should not use baby walkers

“Understand that even walking at the latter end of the spectrum is perfectly OK.”
