While most babies start walking around 9-15 months, it's not unusual for some to walk later. 15 months is not necessarily late to walk. Every child develops at their own pace, and there's a wide range of what's considered "normal."
Here are some factors that can influence when a baby starts walking:
- Genetics: If parents walked later, their child might too.
- Premature birth: Babies born early may take longer to develop motor skills.
- Health conditions: Certain health issues can affect a child's development.
- Environment: A stimulating environment with opportunities for movement can encourage walking.
If you're concerned about your child's development, it's always best to consult with your pediatrician. They can assess your child's progress and provide personalized advice.
