9 month old starting to walk

I just have a quick question, my son is just starting to walk....only if we hold him under his arms...but when he walks he is walking on his tippy toes....bare foot or with shoes...is it ok?
Is there anything i can do to make him walk on his flat feet?

He's still really young to walk (though some babies do walk very early like this). But it's going to take time for him to learn balance and putting one foot in front of the other. You can't force him. Walking is a lot harder than we think.
