How can I encourage my baby to use both legs equally during walking?

When crawling or walking, it is common for babies to favour one leg over the other. However, if you have any concerns, you should always consult with a paediatrician.

Try exercises that develop balance and coordination, including standing on one leg, walking on uneven surfaces, and stepping over obstacles, to help your infant to use both legs equally. You may also encourage your infant to crawl in different directions so that both legs are used. Remember to give your infant lots of opportunities to practise walking and strengthen both legs.
