Infants can walk. Babies are born with a stepping reflex. We can use this reflex to promote muscle development, movement and co-ordination. The stepping reflex will diminish around the age of 5 months

My little boy, they *call* this "stepping" because we walk,
but have you ever 1 baby seen walking??
It was "swimming", of course.
When will you try to think a little bit?
Do you still believe your Pleistocene ancestors ran after antelopes?

Pygmy babies walk at 6 months, per a film documentary I linked to.
I don't know when they learn to swim, backfloat, dive, wade.
If you stop chasing strawmen you would have much more time to research real human evolution.

Fat, including baby fat, is not for floating. Why would it be?

Baby fat differs per ethnicity.
