Question
A 13-month-old baby can walk steadily when holding an adult’s hand, but shows reluctance or refuses to let go when trying to walk alone. Once attempting to walk independently, the baby will kneel down.
Answer
Based on your description, your child is currently 13 months old and is not yet able to walk independently. This may indicate that the child has relatively weak leg muscle strength. It is recommended that you engage in games that promote the child’s lower limb muscle activity and perform some regional muscle massages to help restore muscle strength. Additionally, you can take your child to a regular maternal and child health care hospital pediatric department for a neurological and psychological assessment, and receive appropriate rehabilitation training. These are some suggestions for the question “How can a 13-month-old baby walk steadily when holding an adult’s hand.” I hope this helps you and your baby stay healthy!
