Anyone else with a non-walker?

Sparks in training! · May 2013

Just wanted to know if anyone else's lo isnt walking yet. My LO just now will attempt to stand by himself but only as a game and shows NO signs of wanting to walk.

I try to hold his hands and help assist with walking and he will fall to the floor and want to crawl. Sometimes he will walk assisted, but most not.

He honestly just does not seem interested in walking.

So glad it's not just me!! DD cruises like it's her job but when it comes to standing alone or walking forget it! She has taken a few steps and has stood alone while not realizing it. Other then those couple times though DD seems to have no desire to walk or stand alone. Most of the time when we try to hold her hands to walk she goes limp and refuses to stand. So you are not alone

I have known plenty of children who don't seem interested in walking then one day boom they get up and start. I wouldn't worry too much. My friends little girl didn't walk until she was about 15 months. She was on key with everything else so the doctors didn't seem too worried.

DS Finally just tried to take a few steps last night. But that is it! He hasn't shown much interest either. He will fuss some nights if we try to get him to walk with us and will crawl instead.

Not walking here yet either. She can walk holding onto our hands but that's it. DS didn't walk until about a week before 15 months.

THIS. Except she will hold our hands and walk. DH stands her up and has her hold onto his pants and he walks backwards. She seems to enjoy that. The only thing that makes me want her to walk is the fact that carrying her right now is like trying to hold onto a 22lb wet noodle, LOL She doesn't help out and it's tiring! I'm sure they'll all be walking before too long Smile

My lo isn't walking unassisted either. She has a push walk that she is OBBESSED with! If she doesn't see it in eye shot she'll call out "walk" and push her activty table around instead. LOL

She can stand a few seconds without holding on. She's been very early with everything else so if it had to be something she didn't do "early" I guess you could say walking. She will walk freakin non stop sometimes like 20-30 minutes all around the house with her walker. I'm wondeirng if I put it away for a couple days she would try to walk with out it. Hmmmm

And I'm SO sick of comments about it. Are ya'll getting remarks about your kids NOT walking yet. I have and it annoys that crap out of me. She isn't LATE I don't think it's even an issue until they are 18+ months right?

My own sister told me because our daughter is very petite that she needs to gain weight so her legs are stronger to walk....WHAT!? Or I've been told keep shoes on her it will help...UGH!
