Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
Does he stand on his whole foot or on the toes?
I would also like to know whether your child is able to stand with support and can pull himself to stand holding furniture? If he stands on whole foot and if he is able to pull to stand and stand with support then there is not need to worry. You can wait up to eighteen months of age.
If not then see a developmental paediatrician and get his developmental assessment done.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
I find this answer helpful
