Cephalocaudal Motor Progression
Infant neurological control proceeds from head to toe: head stability precedes trunk balance for sitting, followed by pelvic and lower extremity strength for bipedal walking.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Answers
My baby is 14 months old and not walking yet. Should I be concerned?
The normal developmental window for independent walking spans 9 to 18 months. As long as your child cruises along furniture and crawls actively, there is generally no cause for concern.
