Myths and Truths About Walking.
Probably one of the most-discussed topics in babyhood is walking. Most babies take their first steps sometime between nine and 12 months and are walking well by the time they're 14 or 15 months old. While your child may take a bit longer, it’s nothing to worry about. Some perfectly normal children don't walk until they're 16 or 17 months old. There are many myths associated with baby walking. Let’s take a look at number one: Will a Baby Walker Help My Baby Learn How to Walk?
“Most parents opt for baby walkers under the impression that it’ll help their baby learn walking faster than other babies. This is not true. In fact, studies suggest that babies who use baby walkers may learn to walk about a month later than others who don’t,” says Amrita George, paediatric physiotherapist, Pure Child Health.
