What you need
- Bare feet
- Space on the floor
What to try
- When your baby is starting to take their first steps, give them time to experience barefoot walking.
- You might choose to keep the barefoot experience inside, but a safe outside space is fine too.
Good to know
When your baby is barefoot, they can better experience and understand the ground underneath them. This helps build their sense of balance and posture.
Wherever you choose to encourage barefoot walking, check that all surfaces your baby will walk on are safe.
