Patient's question:
Hello, my baby is 20 months old. At home, the baby can eat and drink normally, sleep well, and doesn't get sick. I would like to know, what are the developmental standards for a 20-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
At 20 months, a baby should be able to walk independently. If they still cannot walk alone, it may be necessary to visit a hospital for some screenings. At this age, a 20-month-old baby's fine motor skills begin to develop. They should be able to turn pages and scribble with a pen, but this scribbling should consist of open circles and random lines. It is not expected for them to draw recognizable shapes at this stage. Additionally, the baby should be able to climb stairs. Some children may already be showing signs of wanting to learn how to run.
