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 8 and 18 months, they'll walk for the first time.

At what age do babies walk without support?

While most neurotypical babies start walking without support by 15 months, a lot happens before then as babies build the strength and coordination necessary for them to start walking. Not every baby will progress in the same order or at the same speed.

How can I teach my baby to walk?

Cruising: Infants can practice walking by “cruising” back and forth alongside a sofa or short bench. Stand your child next to the sofa and let him hold on with one hand as you hold his other hand for balance. Slowly move back and forth along the furniture and practice walking.
