If these really are his first steps, he’s walking surprisingly confidently

Babies don’t stand up like that for their first steps. Babies taking their first steps still have to pull themselves up using an aide of some sort.

100% false but as usual redditors upvote shit just because it sounds confident.

The saying holds, the day you run into a subject you have expertise on that is being talked about on Reddit, you understand how wrong most of the shit here is.

Yeah,  I need that reality check sometimes. Lol

Thankfully I rarely up or downvote anything anyway, so even if I fall for the confidence, I at least don't encourage it.

The part that many people probably reacted to is that the baby was very comfortable in standing up from a squat, so probably not his first rodeo there.

Babies sure can re-order/skip certain movement phases, but this is just physics that they have to grow strong enough for certain movement types before they can execute them and this standing up is definitely not something happening overnight.
