However, due to this seemingly strange and rare phenomenon, the University of Rochester Medical Center, the Medical Center of the University of the United States, gave a very 'normal' explanation: 'Jobs 'walking' is not a miracle but one of the natural reflexes in babies '.

The baby was born with "walking reflexes" (stepping reflex). As long as the armpit is held up by an adult, stand upright and let the baby's feet touch a certain surface, the child will have a step-by-step expression, one leg after the other. This reflex will last until the baby is about 2 months old. It helps children grow and survive, but it does not predict early on the child's actual walking day.

Pedestrian reflexes are a sign of natural development, in addition to some other infant reflexes such as fearful reflexes (moro), reflexes (babinski), oral reflexes (rooting), reflexes grip the hand (palmar), defense reaction when swung (tonic neck), .
