question
Hi,; my lo is 14 months, and she doesn't walk yet.i know each baby is different but as a mother I get worried especially when babies her age have already started running around.. she stands without support, manages to take few steps too, but doesn't walk. don't feel good when ppl make sorry face n say oh, poor you, your baby still doesn't walk?

Need your inputs so as to what can I do? She has reached all other milestones on time, is pretty much active, eats everything, but low on the weight too. Please advise fellow moms... @Dr Shilpitha Singh @Shruti Giri

Hi dear... My daughter started walking when she was 15 months old. I faced similar sorry faces whenever I met people. Plus she has been low on weight too... I got comments like.. don't u give ur baby to eat properly? Give her ghee, give her this, that, what not!!<br> People will comment no matter what. If your baby is healthy and active, and is taking even a few steps on her own, nothing to worry :)<br> She will start walking, running rather way too soon and you will post here that my baby doesn't stay at one place, what to do &#128513;

Hi Mom<br> Please ignore dose people who say like that.. I know how it feels coz I went through dis.. What I did is I ignored dem and concentrate on my child I massage my daughter legs before going to bed and in morning too just after she wakes up and before bath toh whole body massage.. And make her walk by holding her hand everyday.. My daughter started walking wen she was 15 month old.. So no worries.. And do ignore dose people...

Ohhh anon,,, never ever worry about that if she is trying hard to take few steps.. just use a cot support and encoyrage her to walk along with the cot support.. might be in three months you will happily see her walking around.. by the way my lo is one lazy fellow.. she took her own steps after 17th month.. now she is on marathon 24&#215;7 &#128584;

Hi mommy <br> My son did the same. I took him to park n made him walk in the sand with support, then he started walking quickly
