Your Baby has not taken her first step yet? Concerned?


Your little one is growing leaps and bounds and is a joie de vivre to all. Right from your baby’s birth, you have been using various baby care apps and baby apps for new parents like BabyBerry to understand your child’s growth and what to expect next.
BabyBerry is one of the most well-known best parenting apps android and offers baby care tips in Tamil as well as baby care tips in Hindi and English.
You are now concerned that your little darling is soon turning one, but has not started walking yet.
By when will my baby start walking and why the delay?
Doctors say that babies typically start walking on their own around 12 months, but this varies. If your little explorer is starting to stand up and holding onto furniture for support, it means walking follows soon.
If your baby is a bottom shuffler, then it takes them a little longer but will eventually get there. Keep in mind and observe whether your baby is inclined to and is on the move either through crawling or shuffling.
More factors for delay
While calculating the baby’s developmental milestones, do the required adjustments if your baby was born prematurely. Walking also depends on the baby’s personality – if yours is a little adventurer, he may take the first leap fast or if yours happens to be a cautious one, then walking takes some time.  Again, the lithe ones walk earlier than the chubbier ones as balancing can be an issue.
All is well
Don’t worry. Wait till the baby is around 18 months old. And after, consult your paediatrician who assesses the baby’s fine motor skills, physical and cognitive development.
In the meantime, encourage your baby to take first steps by placing his favourite toys a little ahead and giving proper massages at bath time.
