Is it normal for a 4-year-old baby not to be able to walk?

Patient's question:

My baby is exactly 12 months old, one year old now. Even standing alone is not very stable, and walking is always lifting their toes, walking on their tiptoes. Seeing other children of the same age can walk a little, I'm so anxious. I don't know if this is normal for my baby. What kind of help is needed: Hello, is it normal for a 1-year-old baby not to walk yet?

Doctor's answer:

It's okay, some babies start walking earlier, and some are a bit late. It doesn't mean the baby is worse than others who walk earlier. It's just that the baby might not have had enough practice or hasn't learned it yet. Encourage the baby to walk more, and within a certain distance, use a toy the baby dislikes to entice them, but make sure someone is nearby to support them. This is the advice for the question "Is it normal for a 4-year-old baby to still not be able to walk?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
