An 18 month old baby can walk.
Some babies can actually begin walking some by the age of 8 months old although they still may need some help to walk without falling.
By 18 months old the baby should be able to walk without assistance.
From a very young age, your baby strengthens their muscles, slowly preparing to take their first steps.
Usually between 6 and 13 months, your baby will crawl.
Between 9 and 12 months, they'll pull themselves up.
And between the ages 8 and 18 months, they'll walk for the first time.
Learning to stand too early should not concern parents either.
As early as 6 months your baby might be trying out his or her legs!
While it's a common concern that early standers may become bowlegged, you shouldn't worry.
Most toddlers begin walking between 11 and 16 months of age, although some don't start until 18 months.
If, however, your child is unable to stand, support themselves, or walk by the age of 18 months, this should prompt attention from a pediatrician.
