Question
Why can’t an 8-month-old girl walk yet? She can walk with support, her intelligence is normal, her teeth are growing normally, she can call ‘Dad’, ‘Mom’, and ‘No’, but her right hand is not very flexible. What kind of examination and treatment do I need to do?
Answer
Hello, if there are no hereditary factors in the situation you mentioned, it is recommended that you closely observe the child. It’s best to bring the child to a professional children’s hospital for some checks. According to your description, the baby can walk with support, her intelligence is normal, and her teeth are growing normally, which are all normal developmental indicators. However, if you are concerned about the baby’s less flexible right hand, it is recommended to check for trace elements and intelligence to ensure the baby’s healthy development.
