Encouraging a baby to walk without crawling first is not recommended as crawling helps develop important muscles and coordination needed for walking. It is important to allow your baby to progress through the natural stages of development at their own pace. However, you can support their physical development by providing opportunities for tummy time, supervised play on the floor, and encouraging them to reach and grasp objects to strengthen their muscles. Remember, every baby develops at their own pace, so be patient and supportive as they reach this milestone.

Babies typically start to sit up with support around 4 to 6 months and may sit independently by 6 to 8 months. Crawling usually begins between 7 to 10 months, although some babies may skip crawling altogether and move directly to pulling up or walking. Each baby develops at their own pace, so there can be variations in these milestones.
6- 8 months is average, but I've seen babies crawl as early as 4 months. Some babies go straight to walking and never crawl. My second daughter didn't start crawling until 10 months, so there is a very wide range of "normal" when it comes to crawling. Many doctors don't consider it an important milestone anymore since so many normally developing kids skip crawling entirely.
Babies typically start crawling between 6 to 10 months of age, although there can be variations. Some may begin to crawl as early as 5 months, while others might skip crawling altogether and move directly to pulling up or walking. Each child's development is unique, and factors like strength and motivation also play a role in when they start crawling.
At nine months, many babies are still developing their strength and coordination, so it's important to encourage rather than rush walking. You can promote walking by providing a safe space for him to explore, using furniture for support, and engaging in activities that strengthen his legs, like standing while holding your hands. Additionally, encourage crawling and cruising along furniture, as these skills build the necessary muscle strength. Always ensure he has plenty of supervised time to practice in a safe environment.

Some babies go straight to walking and skip crawling all together, but most babies crawl for a while before walking while holding onto something.
Current thinking says that if possible, leave shoes off of children until they start walking and then when the child is outside. This encourages strong, healthy feet. YOur child is only 14 months, too early to encourage her to walk. She will get up and start walking on her own schedule, when it is right for her.
When a baby’s eyes open, it does not necessarily mean they will start walking immediately. Babies typically begin to open their eyes shortly after birth, but walking usually occurs much later, around 12 months of age on average. Prior to walking, babies go through stages like crawling and pulling up to stand. The development of walking is influenced by a combination of physical readiness and practice.
Not usually. Crawling takes more time for a baby to master. Yes its possible. My baby crawled properly at 5.5 months, but couldn't sit properly till about 6.5 months.
