Patient's question:
When the baby was one month and a half old, it could walk about four or five meters. It fell down in the end and hasn't walked since. At two months old, it had an inguinal hernia surgery. Now it needs an adult to hold its hand while walking. What could be the reason why the baby is still not walking at 3 months and a half?Doctor's answer:
Dear Parent,Hello. This situation with your baby is likely a physiological fear response, which is not a concern. It may also be due to physical weakness after the surgery. You can give your baby glucose water and eat some nutritious foods. The parent should interact with the baby promptly and encourage walking. This can be done through play-based activities to guide the baby. I believe your baby will be able to walk independently very soon.
