By the time your little one is 1 year old, she will likely be crawling quite expertly. Around this time, you might see signs that your baby will walk soon. These include pulling herself up to a standing position, crouching and bouncing, standing, and cruising. You might notice that your little one is gaining more self-confidence, that she wants more independence and control of her movement, and that she is eager to explore the world around her, including those things that are only in reach if she walks toward them.
Let your little one play with an activity center with toys or a stationary walker. Give your toddler a wagon or a push car with a bar that she can hold onto.
Just make sure that the wagon or car is weighted in such a way that it will not tip over when your baby uses the bar to pull herself up from a seated position. If your baby is already standing, dangle a favorite toy out of reach and encourage your baby to walk toward it. Give your baby opportunities to safely cruise while holding on to stable pieces of furniture. Allow your little one to spend plenty of time moving each day.
This might mean reducing the time spent in strollers, cribs, or car seats where your little one is restricted. You might be a little nervous as your little one starts to walk, especially with all those little stumbles and falls as she gradually masters this newfound skill.
If she does take a small tumble, stay calm, give her a reassuring hug, and let her get back to adventuring. For example, add corner guards and roll up any area rugs. Install a baby gate at the top and bottom of the stars, and to other entryways you want to keep your little one out of.

It can be dangerous if your baby bumps into an obstacle like an area rug or a small toy, which can cause the walker to tip over with him in it. Aside from personality, a few other factors affect when babies start walking. Size: Bigger babies often walk later because they need more strength to get upright than a smaller baby does. Recurrent Ear Infections: "If a child is 16 months or older and isn't walking, we ask about illnesses.
An ear infection can throw off a baby's balance and delay walking," Dr. Birth Order: A baby with an older sibling may be motivated to walk earlier because he wants to keep up, and imitate what the big kid is doing.
