My DD is almost one and is showing no signs of getting ready to walk.... She is cruising around on furniture but won't even walk if I'm holding her hands or if she's got a pusher/walker to hold on to. She just fusses and then collapses down and crawls away.
I know there's a range of what's considered "normal," but my older DD took her first steps around 10 months and was fully walking by 11 months. They've reached all their milestones at nearly identical times except for this one (i.e. they both started sitting independent right at 5 months, crawling at exactly 8 months, etc). So I can't help it - I feel like my DD is "behind."
Anyone else in this boat? Anything I can do to help her along?
Re: Not walking at 1 year
Totally normal. However, remember that they are two DIFFERENT people...so they are going to do things a bit differently. When she is ready, she'll do it. My DD didn't walk until 16 months...now she is walking every where. She could have done it a long

Not behind at all.
DD1 didn't walk until almost 18 months. And now she is a VERY active 3.5 year old.
