Thirteen-month-old baby cannot walk

Generally speaking, babies can start learning to walk before their first birthday, and can slowly take a few steps by the time they reach their first birthday. Some babies still can't walk at thirteen months old, and their parents are very worried, fearing that there is something wrong with their children's body or brain that causes their inflexible movements. More impatient parents keep urging their babies and forcing them to walk, but this can easily backfire. So, why can't babies walk at thirteen months old?

This is a normal phenomenon. Basically, some babies may be slower in this regard. You can use a toddler belt to help them learn to walk and exercise them regularly. It doesn't matter. Just make sure to take them out for more activities.

Each child has a different situation. Some children have good physical development and receive early training, and can walk independently at 9 to 10 months old. Some children are born prematurely, have low birth weight, have poor development, or even suffer from rickets or other diseases, and walk slowly.

Of course it would be better if you could learn to walk early. Because walking not only promotes muscle development, but also increases knowledge and develops intelligence by walking around. When learning to walk, it is inevitable to fall and get hurt, and then get up and walk again. This also exercises the will, which is very important for forming a good character in children.

Generally speaking, it is normal to start learning to walk at 9-15 months, and most babies can walk well after 6 months. There are many factors that affect the time it takes a baby to learn to walk, such as the baby's personality, body shape, whether he has older brothers or sisters, previous experiences of falling, etc.

Some babies are born adventurers. They are not afraid to try new things or fall, and they start learning to walk at an early age. Some babies are relatively cautious and will not start trying until they are fully prepared. Mothers should not compare their babies with other children around them. Let them decide for themselves when to take the first step in their lives.

If the baby is 18 months old and has not taken his first step, the mother needs to seek medical help.

2. Are these walking postures normal?

With the expectation of the whole family, the baby finally took the first step in his life, but why does the baby have bow legs? After finally becoming less obvious, his legs became X-shaped again, and sometimes he walks on tiptoes like a ballerina... What's wrong with my baby? Let me cry for a while.

In fact, for most babies, genu valgum (O-shaped legs), genu valgum (X-shaped legs) and walking on tiptoes are normal physiological phenomena, which are related to factors such as the baby being squeezed in the uterus during pregnancy, the baby's lack of experience in learning to walk, and the ligaments and bones not yet fully developed.
