The child is now 1.5 years old and still hasn't learned to walk. Is that normal?

Patient's question:

Without treatment, is the child still unable to walk at 1.5 years old?

Doctor's answer:

Observe the baby's growth and development at each stage carefully. Check if there are any abnormal muscle tone or abnormal postures, etc. If there are no such conditions, it's nothing serious. It might be that the baby is a bit timid and lacks a sense of security, so they are afraid to walk. Encourage the baby to practice walking more and help build their confidence. For example, if they take two steps, praise them and say, "You're doing great!" Encourage practice but don't let them get too tired, otherwise, they may refuse to walk. Pay attention to giving the baby calcium and zinc supplements regularly. If the baby has abnormal postures or abnormal muscle tone, it is necessary to take the baby to a pediatric neurology department or a neurorehabilitation department for diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.
