👶👼DISCUSSIONS ON DEVELOPMENT SERIES👦👧WALKING: Kailan Puwedeng Ituro🤔Pinapractice kong palakarin si baby pero parang mahina pa ang legs niya. Kailan ba ang tamang age?👨🏻‍⚕️May tamang pagkakasunod sunod ang development ng muscles. Most babies need to learn muna tumayo mag-isa. 👨🏻‍⚕️ Walking is expected na matutunan at around 11-12 months so most babies ay kailangan na ng practice starting 8 months old. 🤓Do NOT use walkers. As mentioned earlier, they need to learn to stand before maglakad. Forcing babies na hindi pa nakakatayo to walk by using walkers will NOT help. 🤓Cruising is the key. 🔑🔑🔑 Hawak sa something stable tapos side steps ... ex. sofa🤓Sabayan niyo ng toys para hindi siya mabore. ex. Puwede niyong ilayo Ang toy niya para magkareason siya para magcruise or walk. 🤓Isabay niyo na rin ang pagpractice ng other areas of development. Lumabas kayo ng bahay and papulutin siya ng mga dahon while practicing walking para madevelop din ang small muscles ng hands tapos idescribe niyo ang dahon and ang iba pang mga bagay sa paligid. 🤓Kapag magaling na siya sa cruising, then ilevel up niyo na. Encourage your baby na bumitaw by keeping his/her hands busy. ex. Iabot niyo ang favorite toy niya eh di bibitaw iyan sa support niya tapos sana niyo iencourage na lumakad... Eh di tunay na walking na iyan kasi di na siya nakahawak sa sofa. 🎉🎉🎉🤓Read the learning activities guide na sinend ko sa inyo after ng well child consultation for more info. 💙💛❤️#PalusuginAngPinasyt - Zane & Dorps, MD https://youtube.com/c/ZaneDorpsMDTo know more about development: https://www.facebook.com/doczane/photos/a.339454020090213/506168183418795/?type=3&theater #NOtoWALKER

Yan na yan, dont rush it talaga! A few of us mums were doing the same thing, practicing palakad agad, pero Doc Zanes right, kailangan muna talaga nilang matuto mag-stand mag-isa bago maglakad, usually around 8 months na pwedeng mag-practice ng cruising (holding onto the sofa), then around 11-12 months na ang actual walking. What really helped sa group is letting them cruise along furniture and using toys to entice them to move, ilayo mo yung favorite toy nila so may reason sila mag-cruise or take those first steps, at hindi rin boring. Once theyre good sa cruising, yan na ang time na i-encourage mo na bumitaw by keeping their hands busy with a toy so they eventually walk without holding on. Skip the walkers though kasi hindi talaga nakakatulong and pwedeng ma-delay pa ang natural development nila!
