Parents eagerly anticipate many milestones in their baby’s first year, with one of the most thrilling being the baby’s first steps. Typically, babies begin walking around their first birthday, although the timing varies. Some may start walking before 12 months, while others might not take their first steps until after their first birthday.
It’s important not to compare your child’s development to that of others, as each child progresses at their own pace. To support your baby in taking their first steps, consider providing push toys, which can offer both fun and encouragement for movement.
However, steer clear of baby walkers; not only are they unsafe, but they can also hinder your child’s ability to walk independently. Additionally, ensure your child has sturdy shoes that properly fit to support their walking efforts. Feel free to share this information with friends and family to help them support their little ones during this exciting time.
