Question
Is there a problem if an 8-month-old child isn’t walking yet?
Answer
If a child hasn’t started walking by 8 months old, it could be due to brain development issues leading to cerebral palsy. Parents should first take the child for a CT scan to determine the cause. If diagnosed with cerebral palsy, it is recommended to start rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible to stabilize the child’s motor function and delay or avoid surgical treatment.
