4 signs bubâs ready to walk. Your bub can pull himself up to a standing position using a stationary object. Once standing up, can transfer his weight from one leg to the other. He can climb stairs using his hands. He might let go of any support when heâs standing and just hover.
If you stand a newborn up on her feet, you'll see that she instinctually moves one foot in front of the other in a walking-like motion. This so-called stepping reflex seems to disappear at around 4 months, but in actuality babies' legs simply become too heavy for their muscles to lift. By 6 months, when you support your baby standing up, she won't slump over because she is learning how to use her leg muscles for strength and her feet for balance. Once the muscles are built up, walking can begin in earnest.
