Walking

Honestly I have my little girl a walker and she just went from there, she's walking unassisted now for short periods of time but she's absolutely loving it

i would suggest a walker if you don’t already have one, or something a bit smaller is something called “stand n dance” from little tikes, it will help her become more confident standing on her own, another thing is let her crawl around, let her climb up/ pull herself up on the sofa, she should start walking along the sofa instead of wanting your hand. it’s amazing she can walk with support from you but if she can’t stand up by herself yet then she won’t be able to walk by herself yet! (not sure if she can stand or not) hopefully this helps!! 🤍

We turned walked unaided into a game. She still had lazy moments where she'll hold on to you. Bet I'd sit on the floor by the sofa and get her to take 2 or 3 steps to me then would grab her into a big cuddle and rock her before putting her back on her feet so she could walk to the sofa. She thought it was the funniest thing and did it repeated and is now more confident on her feet. I really wouldn't say it's fear I'd say it's lack of confidence walking solo but she'll get there

Thanks for the suggestions guys! She does stand unassisted she can stand for 10+ minutes on her own without holding on to anything and she uses her walker fine and cruises furniture and things. It’s just the least I can get her to hold on to something is with my hand if that makes sense? She just realises she’s not holding on to anything whether it’s my hand or the walker and then if I try get her to walk she’ll sit down scared. I have a very frustrated LG😂xx

my little boy used to do the same, hold on to the very tip barely even holding on and would cry if I let go but it was just a confidence issue. I let him hold on and guide me round until he felt comfortable and one day he just let go and was off🥲 not I have an 11 month old that quite literally runs, it’s crazy how fast they get the hang of it and now we go for walks everyday with him on his reigns x

@Ebony we do the same! She loves it and thinks it's a game

Have you tried giving her a toy or something to hold onto? Combined with sitting in front of her (few steps away) so she knows your near

Let her hold one toy on each hand. Usually works.

I used to hold my daughters hand, put something on the sofa or something in front of her and then she'd walk to it.
