What is a good age for babies to start walking & is 9 mo to earily?

Answer 1

Research shows most babies take their first steps sometime between 9 and 12 months and are walking well by the time they're 14 or 15 months old. Don't worry if your child takes a little longer, though. Many perfectly normal children don't walk until they're 16 or 17 months old.

Answer 2

Good Age For Babies To Start Walking Is After 9 Months

Answer 3

Every age is a good age. Babies walk when they're ready. And, yes, some are ready at 9 months old. Average age when a baby starts walking is 9 to 17 months (see sources section below). But some are a little earlier or later.

Answer 4

I have 2 children that walked at 9 months, but most walk closer to 1 year. It just depends on the child.

Answer 5

Babies will start walking when they are ready. Some do it a lot younger than others. My nephew started walking at like 13-14 months, but his cousin started at 9 months. You can always help them gain leg strength by helping them stand up, but he/she probably won't take off until he/she is good and ready.

Answer 6

They walk when they are ready. Some kids start early and some don't walk until they are 16 to 18 months old. My son walked at 7 months, my daughter didn't until she was 16 months. All kids are different. Both of my kids are perfectly healthy and active.

Answer 7

well they are all different. 3 of my kids started when they were about 10 1/2 months to 11 months. and only 1 started at 9 months.

Answer 8

My daughters walked at just after 12 months. They took their first steps earlier than that, but they figured it out after their first birthday. (Actually, I think when they saw another 1 year old walking they got with the program!)

There is research that says that crawling is important for coordination and (right/left) brain development and that you should let your children pick their own time to start walking.

Walking is cool, but once they start, you've got to learn a whole new set of parenting skills. Walking leads to skinned knees and things. All part of growing up, but applying that first band-aid can be heart wrenching.

Answer 9

my son just turned 10 months today and he's finally walking without help he's been trying to walk since he was 7 months old so no i don't think 9 months is too early it depends on the baby.

Answer 10

Not at all. If they are ready, let them do it. My first boy started walking at 9 months, my second boy started walking at 13 months. It depends on the child.
