When does a baby start walking?

Babies usually start walking between 9 and 18 months. On average, first steps are seen around 12-15 months. However, each baby's development rate is different — some babies take steps at 9 months while others may reach 17-18 months. What's important is that your baby acquires pre-skills like standing while holding on to something, side-stepping while holding furniture, and standing unsupported for a few seconds. Not skipping the crawling stage before walking is generally beneficial for muscle development. If there are no signs of walking by 18 months, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
