Question
Can an 8-month-old baby start walking?
Answer
Babies develop at different rates, and while some may attempt to walk at 8 months, this is not the norm. Generally, babies start to walk around 10 to 12 months of age. If your baby shows a desire to walk before this time, it may be normal, but it could also be due to a lack of calcium. It’s recommended that you take your baby for a check-up and follow the doctor’s advice to supplement with calcium. At the same time, you can give your baby more calcium-rich foods like yogurt and bone soup, which are beneficial for the baby’s bone health.
