  • That is not walking. It is a reflex in babies called 'placing' - when you hold a baby up (ages from newborn to around 4-6 months of age) with the soles of their feet touching a firm surface (e.g. the floor) they do a movement of bringing one foot up, placing it on the surface and then lifting the other foot. With the parent moving forwards, whilst holding the baby, this movement can look like walking.

    It is common for parents to get excited about this and think their baby can walk!

  • I really don't think you should do that with a two-month old, you could easily hurt his back or something.

  • Of course the baby isn't walking professor! Still it's great training for the little bub.

  • That doesnt look like a 2month baby he looks 4 - 5 months

  • Cute.

    I do agree about the reflex/placing action. Several years ago, on TV, I saw a study on newborns and how they are born with knowing how to "walk". The doctor demonstrated the same action as this baby is taking, but with a baby (his son, I think) that was only about a week old. He supported the baby in the same manner, but made sure the baby's head rested to the side and against his own raised shoulder which was supported by the doctor's hand.

  • me dr said its fine if they want to bare their weight. my lo loves standing but never does the steps

  • @gpardo01

    agree...my baby do this in 40 days... :D his grand mother massage him..when she stand him..he can walk his feet nd Lap up :)

    its not walking at all :D

    he's took his first step at 11 months :)

  • @free2be70105 Doesn't look like he is bearing much weight on his legs to me. Because of the natural reflex, his legs walk when just touching a surface. He only lifting his feet, not his body.

  • @StrawbarieGashes They are stronger than they look. It's one of the reflexes tested at birth.

  • @gpardo01 agreed :P
