Not walking

My baby is 14 ish months old and he is still not walking😭 He is standing up with support and will also stand up without support for a few seconds or so. Is any other mama out there in the same boat? How can I encourage walking without him getting irritated and throwing himself on the floor like usual.

My daughter didn’t start walking until 18 months. She just preferred crawling and scooting on her butt. What helped her was a push walker. Now she’s three and runs everywhere

My baby is 6 months and walks with a push walker. I started holding her hands to walk with me and using the toys like the push walker to start her early and that worked for me.

My daughter didn’t start til end of 15 months. I just let her be. We’d walk while holder her hands and eventually she just decided to try on her own. I wanted her to wait as long as possible haha so I didn’t try to push her at all. Eventually he will decide he wants to walk and it definitely won’t be on your time kiddos have their own agenda

My twins started walking way after 18 months, I remember I was super worried about that and now they run nonstop

@Ashley at what age was she sitting and crawling?

I didn’t walk til I was 18months. Mine mostly turned out to be that I was blind and needed glasses lol. But babies will walk when they feel ready! Just give it time and maybe encourage more with a walker or have them hold your hands and walk with them around.

Have him stand in front of you. Both of you hold opposite sides of a hula hoop to let him feel natural gravity. It’ll encourage him to walk

My LG was 18 months. She wasn’t in a rush to walk

My daughter started walking at 15 months don’t worry they all do it at their own time try standing toys and walking with them

Thank you guys so much! He has always wanted to do whatever he wanted at his own pace. That definitely helped me be at peace a bit because I was just so worried about it😭

My daughter is sooo stubborn and can’t be made to do anything she doesn’t want to do. She crawled at 13 months (bum scooted until then), walked holding furniture at 15 months, and took her first steps a week before 18 months. No issues, she just didn’t want to do it before then🤷🏼‍♀️ You don’t need to worry until at least 20 months x
