Suddenly stopped walking

Any other little ones doing this? My daughter finally took her first steps unaided, walking between me and my husband, two weeks ago. Since then she has been getting a little more confident each day and walking a little farther on her own, from the sofa to the table etc. The last two days however she just won’t walk, when I stand her up to walk to me like normal, she just flops down and crawls. Just found it strange as it was 10-12 days and then nothing! Im sure she will start again in time but I was excited to really walk with her 😂

Every time my boy learns a skill/ word / trick he goes daft doing it for a few days. Then he won’t do it again for a while whilst he is learning a new trick/ word/ skill. It’s like he’s going “look mummy I’ve already proved I can do it - let me try something new now”.

Maybe she’s just learning something new 😊

My little one is a new walker same as yours and only just getting the confidence to walk places without me but often drops and crawls - I think it’s cause he can get to where he wants to go faster that way at the moment!

@Alana I wondered this actually as she definitely did that with rolling, but I sort thought it wouldnt happen with walking being such a big one, I dont know! But glad to know its not just us! xx

Babies can regress slightly on learnt skills when they are learning new ones. I wouldn’t worry too much

My son took his first steps new years day then didn't really start walking til around middle of Feb, and then he was doing a few more steps each day from then

My little girl took her first steps in Feb and still can’t walk. She tries but gets fed up and goes back to walking on her knees

Hey, I’ve found this very normal. My baby will learn a skill, not do it for ages, then a month or so later will do it consistently!
