How old was your LO when..

lisamoe · June 2012

They started to walk?

DS is 11.5 months and isn't yet. I'm not in a rush either, he crawls fast enough...I know its going to be even crazier when he starts walking.

I was wondering what the average is.

I've been around a few other LOs the same age (both girls) and one was walking at 10.5 months and the other 11.

DS is the same age as your LO and he can't walk independently either. He has been cruising with his Activity Walker for about 2 months tho, but shows no interest in going solo.

HarrietNJMommy · June 2012

B was 10.5 months

E was 13.5 months

L was 15.5 months

danienross · June 2012

DD took her first steps the day before 10mos and was full on walking in two weeks.

Shoshi10 · June 2012

DD took her first steps at 14 months, but didn't start fully walking until 17 months.

AgrippaRidesAgain · June 2012

DS was walking at 10 months and DD was 14.5 months. The age range for walking is something huge like 9-18 months.

penguingrrl · June 2012

My older one was like 11-11.5 months. I don't remember exactly, except that when I see pics of her first birthday party she was walking steadily by then! I know it was like 11ish months.

My younger one was walking early, by 9.5 months she was a steady walker. I was hoping she would wait longer so it would be longer before I had two mobile kids lol!

Court0026 · June 2012

DS- 12.5 months (did everything average)

DD- 9 months (she did EVERYTHING early)

alli2672 · June 2012

mine were both about 15 months when they were really walking well on their own. I was just reading an article the other day that this is psychological as much as physical. A lot of kids (mine included) are really able to walk before they are comfortable with "letting go."

MrsBalletStar05 · June 2012

DS#1 about a week or two after his first birthday.

DS#2 21.5 months.

Of they are not walking by 18 months you may want an evaluation.

stdldb29 · June 2012

DS-18 months

DD-13 months

This was certainly true with DD. She was physically able to walk at about 12 months, but wasn't brave enough to do it until 14.5. I could pretend to hold her under her arms and she'd putter around all on her own. I just had to touch her occasionally so that she thought I was providing balance.

eaglesfan700 · June 2012

DS - 16 months

DD - 18.5 months

mrsdiamonds · June 2012

DS was 10 months. Having a group of friends who all had babies at the same time showed me that all kids really just do things on their own time.

roxy_jj · June 2012

DD - 13 mos.

DS - 10 mos.

Once DD was a year old, everyone was asking if she was walking yet. It got to be really annoying.

sunnybrook. · June 2012

I have twin girls. One started walking at 11 months. The other one started walking at almost 16 months. They had the same environment, same opportunities, etc. They walk when they're ready and each one is so different!

This could really explain DD being an early walker. She's very outgoing and is proving to be a little bit of a dare devil.

sophie206 · June 2012

11 months--once she took her first steps she took off pretty quickly and was walking around independently on her 1st birthday. My nephew is 2 weeks older than DD and he walked at 14 months. He did the cruising stage for like 6 months

Nwlywed07 · June 2012

LO has started pulling up on everything and is attempting to cruise already. I think kids are just unpredictable most of the time.

The_Jen626 · June 2012

My DD didn't army crawl until 11 months...full on crawled at 11.5 months...pulled herself up at her first birthday party...and walked at 14.5 months.

It will happen, don't stress it!

kcisthebombdotcom · June 2012

Big difference here.

My oldest took his first steps at 8.5 months old. Was a full time walker (ie walking instead of crawling 100% of the time) at 11 months.

My youngest took her first steps at 11 months. Was a full time walker at 14 months.

My son's OT told me walking on average occurs between 10-17 months. There's a big range of "average" when it comes to that milestone.

pinksweetpea2 · June 2012

The average is around 12 months, HOWEVER the normal range is up to 18 months.

My DD walked at 14 months. It only took her a couple of days after she took her first step to be walking all over the place.

lbaby08 · June 2012

DD took her first independent steps right before her first birthday and was full on cruising within a week or two.

jnjmommy0609 · June 2012

Both of mine were in the 10-11 month range.

Temp174496125006552 · June 2012

Jordan was right around a year. Ben was 11 months.

brooketini · June 2012

DD was 9.5 months, DS started walking independently on his first birthday.

Fishstyx · June 2012

DD1 was 17 months. DD2 was 15 months. FWIW, both my girls were early talkers so I just assumed they were concentrating on other things.

adri77 · June 2012

DS1- 15.5 monthsw

DS2- 12.5 months

mandymack · June 2012

Emily took her first steps around her first birthday but wasn't full on walking until 14 months.

Nolan just took his first steps and has been more like "toddling" around a few steps here and there this past week. He is 12.5 months.

Amaryllis619 · June 2012

my LO was 11 months when she transitioned from cruising to walking, but it took a few months for her to walk independantly with confidence.

All children are different, i'm sure your LO will walk soon.

klyann · June 2012

Took first steps at 16 months. Walking at 17 months. Walking outside 18 months. And now she is a daredevil.

ToBeMrsT · June 2012

10.5 months for DS, 8.5 months for DD

Angela814 · June 2012

Annalise was 13 months.

Charlotte was 11.5 months.

kacelle · June 2012

DD will be 13 months tomorrow and still isn't walking (except with a push walker). Our pedi said the average age is between 10 and 14 months, but I've read that the normal range extends up to 18 months. He wasn't at all concerned when we said she wasn't taking steps at her 12 month check-up.

ta78 · June 2012

DS was about 10.5 months when he took his first steps, but had terrible balance for what seemed like forever. He is still a little unsteady when he runs for very long or when he climbs.

JLDillon17 · June 2012

10 1/2

becketts · June 2012

DD1 started walking on her own the day after her first birthday.

Kelli&Jed · June 2012

One was walking just fine on his own at 9 1/2 months and the other started 3 days before his first birthday. One of my nephews didn't walk until 14 months and my other newphew is 13 months and just took his first steps.
