output: hello first let me appreciate you for describing whatever your child has appropriately as you have said that the baby has just started walking about months ago the problem with balance could be just his learning curve kids normally do fall while learning to walk am sure even you will be aware of that he is able to walk rule and climb stairs only means he is growing normally now to say if the balancing issue is normal or not you can make a small video of it and show me it is difficult to say without seeing the baby let us assume that it is a part of normal development then you do not have to go to a doctor and you do not have to worry about it now if we assume that it could be because of a physical problem the child will have to be examined my advise is to wait till he completes years if the problem still persists then you have to go to a doctor
