When Will Baby Start Walking?

Some babies will walk as early as six to seven months of age. Other babies might not learn to walk until a few months past their first birthday. The factors that help decide when a baby will start walking are the baby’s genes and his or her personality. Personality characteristics which help determine when a baby will walk are the baby’s sense of adventure, activity level and their sense of fear.

If a baby has not started walking by fifteen to eighteen months, he or she should be taken to the pediatrician for an evaluation.
