You should have a ses with a garland and coconut for the child. Invite family and other guests if you like and make dhan daar and fish patio with mithoo dahi.
For this ceremony, I was instructed to do the following:
Ensure the ladus were placed on the patlo (platform)
The father must lift the child (who is now able to walk) and plant their feet on the ladu (which were both created as little feet)
After this was done, the child would receive the telee (red dot) on their forehead and then the flower garland
They would then receive something sweet in their mouth (we gave our daughter a raisin)
The child would then receive paramnis (envelopes with money - a gift) from the family members
The father and mother would eat the ladus that the child would step on
