Perfectly normal.

DD will be 1 in a few days, and she is not walking independently yet. She does walk with her push-walker though. I know another little girl (just 2 weeks older than my DD) and she's been walking since 8 months.

My husband didn't walk until he was 18 months! Every baby meets milestones at their own pace. I bet there are things that your child is doing that others aren't. Don't worry too much!

normal. I would consider walking before a year on the early side but still normal. There is quite a range.

Walking is one of the milestones that has a large range. I believe it goes from 9-18 mos. DD didn't start walking until 15 mos. Her cousin who's a couple weeks older than her started at 9 mos. I have a feeling DS will be an early walker. You don't need to worry.

According to WHO, by 11 months:

1 in 4 babes walk alone (at 10 months it's only 1 in 10)
1 in 2 babes stand alone
Most babes crawl

It says 50% of babes walk alone at 12.0 months, and 99% do by 17.6 months.

All different ways! My DD was a late roller and crawler, but an early stander and walker.

DS will be one tomorrow and isn't walking yet.

He rolled early. Crawled at about 8 months. He walks with a walker, but can't stand on his own (unless holding on, or if he lets go he only lasts a few seconds).

Very normal!

DS has been walking while pushing a walker, or walking holding one hand for about a month. Today, he took his very first steps by himself so I figure he will be walking independently very soon. (Babies tend to walk early in my family).

I know two people whose babies just started walking this week, one is 14 months and one is 15 months.
