Im curious as to the youngest age a baby can walk
i cant find any info about it on the web.
Do you know?
If so, where did you find the answer??
thanks



Answer
The earliest I have seen really walking (able to walk several steps unassisted) is 7 months. I think most moms of super-early walkers woud have babies at least 7 months before they would be able to walk across a room. I have 3 kids...the oldest girl walked several steps at 8.5 months, the middle girl at 7.5 months, the youngest boy at 11 months (I swore he would never walk...lol...after my early girls!)

Oh - and never push a baby to learn to walk. My girls were never pushed or taught...but DH and I were both early walkers so they come by in naturally. Children that are taught/pushed into learning to walk before they are naturally pulling up and able to push toys around...usually end up with problems. It isn't worth it just to say your baby was a young walker...by they time they are 1 1/2 you would never know which babies were early walkers and which ones weren't so it really makes no difference - let them develop on their pace.
