How is your 47 week old baby doing
If your baby’s isn’t already walking, she will be taking her first independent steps soon. You dont have to worry. Some babies wait till 17 or 18 months before walking.
There are ways you can help your baby walk. You can encourage her to walk by standing or kneeling in front of her and holding out your hands. Like most babies, your baby will walk with her arms out to the side ( for balance) and bent at the elbow. His feet will turn inward and belly out in front while her bottom sticks out behind (also for balance).
It is important to make sure that your baby is in a safe environment while practicing her new skills.
