Walking


When it comes to milestones, your baby's first steps can't be beat. Your child's first baby steps are, after all, his first major move toward independence. 

During his first year, your baby is busy developing coordination and muscle strength throughout his body. Most babies take their first steps sometime between 9 and 12 months and are walking well by the time they're 14 or 15 months old. Don't worry if your child takes a little longer, though. Many perfectly normal children don't walk until they're 16 or 17 months old. 

Your newborn's legs aren't nearly strong enough to support him yet, but if you hold him upright under his arms, he'll dangle his legs down and push against a hard surface with his feet, almost as if he's walking. 

By 11 months your baby will probably have mastered standing solo, stooping, and squatting.
