Motor development in premature babies is evaluated based on corrected age (calculated from the expected due date, not birth age). Walking usually begins around 12-15 months of corrected age, which means 2-3 months later than a full-term baby—and that's completely normal. Your baby will first crawl, pull themselves up holding furniture, cruise along objects, and then take their first independent steps. If your baby hasn't taken unsupported steps by 18 months of corrected age, talk to your pediatrician or physical therapist.
