Baby walking curve E-mail

D
uring the first weeks, when you try to hold baby standing, he or she rounds off his back and drops his head forward. It can happen next that baby is no more doing any visible progress during 4 or 6 months.

ImageThe walking curve without support usualy can appear in average about 13 months (often between 10 to 16 months) and only 3% of the children can walk alone before this stage ( say around 9 months).

12 to 30 Weeks

When around 12 weeks, baby can keep the head right, at 20 weeks can take a light support on its legs, and around 24 weeks leans well on the legs. Around 30 weeks, it spreads completely the legs and jumps happily (if mum does not prevent it fearing to see them curving!) 

From 36 Weeks

At 36 weeks, baby holds himself standing against the furnishings if it can help, between 40 and 48 weeks the furnishings help for trying to keep standing, walking aside while being anxious, and can learn to walk if someone holds and help by taking his two hands. At 52 weeks (1 year), baby start walking held by one hand.
 

About 19 or 20 months, baby not walking independently should be considered as a signal to take action  with  proper  treatment.
