When did the baby learn to walk and how to teach the baby to walk?

Usually, babies can learn to walk around 1 year old, but everyone's development is different. A more scientific judgment is that when a child can stand on his own, especially when he can take things on the ground with his feet, he can start walking. Parents should never compare with other children and force them to walk, which may do harm to their baby's health.

Teaching the baby to walk is not so simple, because it can't be learned at once, so parents must be patient and encourage the baby to learn to walk step by step.

1. Start with crawling

Crawling can exercise the tension and strength of baby's leg muscles, which is good for toddlers. Often let the baby crawl on the floor or hard mat (too soft plane is not conducive to baby practice), you can use toys to induce.

Do sit-ups

Exercise your baby's muscle strength, or do sit-ups with your baby. The baby lies on his back, and his mother takes his hand to do the following actions; Sit up-stand-sit down-lie down, repeat several times. Be careful not to pull the baby's hand too hard to prevent the baby from dislocating due to improper force.

kick

Hold the baby under his armpit with both hands, pick him up, let him do kicking and jumping, and practice the stretching ability of the baby's legs.

4. Grab a toy and climb.

Standing is the premise of walking. Put the baby's favorite toys on the sofa or coffee table about the same height as the baby, and encourage him to stand up and grab the toys. You can also put toys on the sofa or in the hands of your parents to encourage your baby to climb.

Practice standing with your bare hands

At first, the baby will not stand because of fear. Parents can give their baby toys that one hand can't reach, such as balls and dolls, so that the baby can unconsciously let go of his hands and stand independently. You can also put the toy on the other side to induce the baby to turn around and stand alone.

6. Walking training

Let the baby move in an environment where he can walk, such as holding the wall, sofa, coffee table, cot, railing, walker, light stool, etc. Parents can also hold the baby's arm behind their back, drive him forward, and slowly transition to holding the baby's arm and let him walk by himself, and can cooperate with the password to arouse the baby's interest. Be careful not to pull or lift the baby's forearm to let him walk, which will easily cause the baby to dislocate.

7. Squat in front of the baby

When the baby can walk, parents can squat in front of the baby, open their arms or use toys to encourage the baby to come over. Take a step or two first, and then increase the distance a little. After the baby dares to walk, parents can stand at both ends and let the baby walk back and forth in the middle.

8. Hold less and walk more

Don't hold the baby or trap him in one place. You should give your baby more opportunities to move freely and encourage him to wander around and explore. Clean up sundries and accident-prone items to give your baby a safe space.

9. Comfort+encouragement

Babies learn to walk, and falling is inevitable. Parents should not be overly nervous. Excessive tension will aggravate the baby's fear of learning to walk. When the baby falls down as a toddler, the mother should give comfort and encouragement to make the baby feel safe.

10. Nutrition reserve

Give your baby more calcium-containing food to ensure the normal development of your baby's bones and add points for toddlers.
