Walking

Is anyone else’s baby still not walking? My baby’s 13 month and still isn’t walking. She used to walk along holding both hands, but now just lifts her legs up or throws herself to the floor. She cruises along the sofa but that’s it. Any tips on encouraging her to walk? She does have a push along walker but also refuses to walk with it and would rather just sit in front of it playing with the toys attached. TIA

“Still” is not really i word i would use. It is normal for a child to walk anytime between 10 months (i’ve seen a 9 month walking!) to 17 months. No need to encourage, she will do it when she’s ready x

Like above said, baby will do it at their pace. There's no rush at all. My brother walked from 8 months without too much encouragement where as my 13 month can not still. The walker could be good to continue using to help, you could hold her hands for her to get used to the walking ?x

Mine isn’t! My first didn’t until 14mknths so I’m Not worrying at all. I didn’t walk until 18m and I’m just fine! Try not to worry xx

Same! No where close to walking and can’t stand on her own without pulling up! She keeps trying to stand without her arms to help and hop up😂

No walking here but absolutely not worried about it at all, not even expecting him to walk at this age they're still so small, think age is 18 months the HVs like them to be walking by, plenty of time x

No walking here either but I’m not worried. My eldest didn’t walk until he was 15 months and he’s now 3.5 y/o and on the go 24/7! I totally understand the worry as it’s so easy to compare, but honestly, they really do all do it at their own pace ❤️

My son didn't walk until he was 15m , my daughter is 13m, she took her first few steps last week but totally hasn't bothered since and she gets annoyed if we try to force her to stand and walk. She just doesn't want to as she's a super fast crawler. If she get to 18m and still not walking properly I would speak to gp xx

No my 13 month old isn’t walking yet, my 2.5yo started walking at 15 months It’s not classed as delayed until 18 months I was told x

My son bum scoots. He isn’t interested in walking at all.
