Patient's question:
Six days away from being born, he has pneumonia caused by underdeveloped lungs.Past treatment and outcomes: He is still in the recovery phase from pneumonia, but he gets short of breath with intense exercise, so he avoids walking much.
What kind of help is needed: At his age, he will never walk—is there something missing?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, children at 11 months can stand up for a short while, and by 15 months, they can walk steadily on their own. However, each child's growth and development are different. Moreover, your baby is a premature infant, which means they may have slightly weaker physical health compared to other children.Advice: As a parent, don’t hurry. The most important thing is to check if your child is missing any essential elements, and then provide treatment based on the specific situation. I hope this explanation will be helpful to you.
