Babies will start to turn their heads from side to side when lying on the back or belly,this will happen around one month. At three months a baby can start lifting up its head and chest up when lying on its belly. Children generally learn to walk anywhere between seven and sixteen months of age. But before a baby will walk they will most likely engage in some pre-walking behaviours such as pushing up from the floor, rocking on their stomach, pulling up into a sitting position or scooting on their bum and crawling on all fours.
The following average ages of motor milestone achievement come from a 1996 study by the World Health Organization. average age at which infants sat without support was 6 months. average age for standing with support was 7.6 months. Infants in the study crawled on hands and knees at 8.5 months. Walking with assistance occurred at 9.2 months. The average age of an infant who achieved standing alone was 11 months.
