13 months and not walking

truelovers4ever · July 2011

My parents and in laws keep telling me she should be walking. Im pretty much over it. What age was your LO walking?

Tell them to chillax. Pedis don't start to worry until about 18 months. My son was almost 19 months.

16.5 Months, hang in there. Kids walk when they dang well feel like it!

My daughter didn't walk till almost 15 months. Looking back, I wish I hadn't spent so much time worrying about her not walking. It doesn't make a bit of difference now.

My DD was 15 months.

DS is close though. I would guess he will be walking soon.

DS walked at 13 1/2 months. He was cruising at 8 and taking steps before 11 but just didn't want to walk. Trust me, I totally know how you feel. DH's family were flat out rude to us about it. Whenever we would see or talk to them for like 3 months the first thing they would say "Is he walking yet?" No hi, hello, nothing. At his birthday party MIL told my friend that DS was developmentally behind... she's such a biotch. She insists DH walked at 10 months, then she said 9 months, and has even said 7 months. She basically just talks to hear herself speak. It's really frustrating and I'm sorry you're dealing with it. I think the average walking age is 10-15 months, or something like that so your LO is prefectly normal. Trust me she'll be running around in no time.

DD started walking 2 days before she was 15 months. She's running everywhere now.

15.5 months.

Almost 14 months and still not walking. I keep reminding myself that DH was 18 months before he walked and it clearly had no long term effects on him.

DS#1 started walked right after his 1st birthday. DS#2? He's 13 months now and no where even CLOSE to walking. Like you, I'm over it. He'll do it when he does it. He is wonderful and quiet and content to observe and look at details. The big picture hasn't hit him yet, LOL.

My DD was 15 1/2 mos and is 17 1/2 months now...still a bit wobbly but runs! It's not a worry, I too was worried like crazy when she was 1 and not walking but it's silly now! and more to worry about!! :-P

My niece didn't walk until close to 18 months. We are pretty sure dd could walk if she wanted to (she has taken several steps at a time), she just isn't ready yet and that is fine with me!

AngelaU1971 · July 2011

17.5 months

18 months...now she's running all over the place and getting into everything.

MrsBraun · July 2011

DD just turned 14 months and is just starting to walk - my DH was 22 (yes you read that right) months and my niece was 20 months. We have a family of late walkers so I expected her to take longer actually...

My Dr. said the majority don't walk till like 15 months and even then it's not a big deal.

My 13 mo old isn't walking either and I think it's totally normal. Not worried one bit.

I'm actually kind of glad that he wants to be a baby for a little while longer.

DD1 was 15.5 months. DD2 is 14.5 mos and not even close to walking. She's not pulling up or cruising either. She is trying to pull up, but just doesn't have interest in walking. I try to help her walk by holding on to her hands, but she just tries to stick her legs out so she can sit down and scoot around on her own. I am not too worried. I know she will when she is ready. She is meeting all her other milestones. It certainly makes life easier not having her walk!
