Walking is a milestone in motor development characterized by upright locomotion. It typically follows crawling in the orderly sequence of physical development.

Walking as a Developmental Milestone

Crawling is a motor development milestone where an infant moves across a surface using their limbs. In the typical developmental sequence, infants begin to crawl after they have learned to sit unassisted.

Sitting unassisted is a key developmental milestone that requires both coordination and muscle strength. It is typically achieved after a child has mastered sitting with assistance. On average, babies achieve this skill at 7 months old, with 90% of infants learning to sit alone between the ages of 5 and 9 months.
