At what age does a baby walk: their first steps

Baby's first steps are an exciting time for parents. It is an important stage in a child's development and often raises many questions. At what age does a baby start walking?

Baby's motor development

On average, a baby starts walking between 9 and 12 months. However, it is important to remember that every child is unique and develops at their own pace. Some babies can start walking as early as 8 months, while others can wait until 18 months.

Signs that baby is ready to walk

Before starting to walk, your baby will go through several developmental stages. He will start by standing up while leaning on furniture, then he will take a few steps while holding on to something. Then, he will gain confidence and begin to walk independently.

Encouraging baby to walk

Horrible customer service

Ordered two pairs of shoes that arrived as the wrong size. As stated with their return policy, I’ve emailed five times now to conduct a return, and can not get any response. Would not recommend.
