I was so happy to hear 12 -18 months! People act shocked that my girl cant walk yet and she turned a year last week
My son is 1y and almost 5 months and he is still not walking alone. Don't worry
Thats how i feel with my 14 month old i even get jealous. His baby cousin is 2 weeks younger then him she already walks and even is starting to say world. His dad just tells me not to rush him i just get worried.
my son is 13 months and can get everywhere he wants just wont take that 2nd step before flopping his butt to the ground.
@@brandonboudreau770 my son is 15 months he just started walking 2 wks ago. Now he is walking every where he can doesn't want me to grab his hand or nothing. It takes time but you'll see he'll get there.
My son turned 1 in December and is not walking yet. You're not alone Mama.
My 14 month old still refuses to stand/walk with support. He's great at cruising, crawling, climbing and very energetic but hates the idea of walking/standing he collapses his legs immediately! 😅 Just feels like he's never going to walk, I will use your tips
Exactly the same!!
Same here
After an hour searching for a good video that gives great advice AND shows examples I finally found this one! Thanks!!!!
My baby will be 16 months soon and is only cruising and pulling up on furniture. I’m really excited to try these methods!
finally got a video of them doing the activities. thank you!
Awesome 👍 thank you ☺️
Thank you this is great help !
Very helpful; thank you
I tried some of these with my 12 month old and it’s working!!!! I’m such a proud mama
Awesome, great job! We're so glad to hear it ☺
How do you guys do it coz my daughter she is standing on a couch , table but won't push herself sometyms to stand how can i manage her balancing in order for her to walk
Finally a video that gives real useful advices. Thank you!!
Really useful information
I really found your video helpfull...
Super mam tq
Great video thank you
thanks for the video!!! What is the duration and/or time frame to practice. Also is this a daily activity, just trying to get a timeline. My granddaughter does everything. She's taken about 6 steps on her own at once with my coaching but now only about 1-2 steps then down to crawl. I believe she doesn't trust herself yet.
My little one shows signs of readiness, but lack of confidence. She can easily cruise, she can go from sit to stand (but wants to grab a toy once she stands), she'll let me support her ribcage area while she walks (which I notice she is getting stronger each day), she can easily go from crawling/sitting into a stand at the couch (without needing to pull herself up). But she has only let go of the couch to stand independently one time for 5 seconds. I'm going to introduce a push walker to see if she'll use it. Looking for other tips to get her to have the confidence to stand without holding on.
My baby just turned 9 months and is already cruising along anterior surfaces and is standing up against vertical surfaces an attempting to cruise there as well. What step schold I take next? I know that it is normal for some kids to start walking at 10-11 months and expect mine to walk before his first birthday. He sarted crawling a few days after he turned 6 months and started pulling up to standing at the end of 8 months. A week ago he learned how to klimp a Pickler triangle. I didn't expect everything to happen so soon and I am not prepared. Which activities schould I promote now?
My daughter has made it passed these stages or doing them...I'm just at the stage where we practice everyday. Thankfully since she was born 27 weeks early and now she 13 months. I'm aiming for 15months to have her walking 😊 independently.
27 weeks early?!?
@@aesthetic_life6587 yes 27 weeks early?
I'm so sorry! I can't imagine how scary that must have been 😭
@aesthetic_life6587 it's ok yess it was very scary I suffered from unexpected pre-eclampsia. Thanks ❤️
Sorry to hear that
What if my child already does this how long would it take for her to walk ? She already takes 1-2 steps but gets scared when I let go
my son turned 1year and could not sit properly faling down here and there, what activities we should try to make him sit properly ? any advice on mattress or carpets to use so they wont get hurt if falling down ?
Hi. My son is 14 months old, he knows how to move his legs while walkimg, and he walks whenever i am holding his both or one hand. But he is not walking when i leave him and he refuses to even stand by himself. What is the problem?? And what should i do?
My daughter is at 18months now. Can pull herself up and stand on her own. But just doesn’t prefer to walk and wants to crawl. Should we be concerned or push her to walk more.
My twins are 26months and are NOT independently walking I'm so CONCERNED. I was told twins develope different then single child. I don't understand why and how does that work? We NEED a video on twins/multiple children growth and development. CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A TWIN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT VIDEO??
My daughter is 18 months!! Crawls and stands on her own. I walk with her with 1 finger but does not let go
Chalne lga aapka baby
@@goodideasdeeptibairagi1548 Doctor ne bata ye ke bacho ke stomach mein keede hain. Keede bacho ke growth ko effect kar te hai. Dr bacho ko dua per laga de ya hai. Ab bache better ho ra he hai pe le se.
@@Love4Jesus25 ok thanx dear
Mera beta bhi 26 month ka hai, abhi khud se khada nhi hota, Shara lekar ho jata hai, jb hum khada krte hai to 2 या 3 कदम चल भी लेता है। बाकी सारी एक्टिविटी भी krta hai, kaise use khud se khada karna sikhau
My son can stand up with furniture he can get up and down on the sofa he can walk with furniture but can stand for more then 3 seconds on his own and sits down when trying to walk with him hes 14 months old hes doing everything but walking any tips
My baby is almost 18 months, she has walked before, she stands and pulls up really well but when we try to let her walk she just refuses, any tips?
My daughter does all these things and still doesn’t want to walk. She can stand for over a minute, cruise on vertical surfaces, and has started to step independently, but then she decided to stop trying to walk.
Same here
My son is 16mo old
Any suggestions?? He is walking with support since 9mo.. not progressing to independent walking
@@vigneshrs5806 she’s finally walking, almost a week after I left this comment. And she took off. Honestly just keep trying and providing open space for him to practice. That’s what ultimately we stuck with.
How old was she when she started trying to walk?? (Mine is 14 months, he collapses his legs when I try, yet he can do everything else)
How do you recommend practicing independent standing if the toddler doesn't want to let go of the surface (15 months old)? I mostly try to hand her toys so she can't hold on, but then she sits down.
Exactly what my baby is doing he is 15 months.
I will say this is helpful for me but you have to be safe doing it. Lol may not be great idea but I got my daughter encouraged to stand since she was like 9months from taking pictures. I stayed close by and started off with objects behind her to lean on then afterwards by herself she started doing on her own. 😊
Same, my son is almost 15 months and it's the same. What happened to you? Did she start walking?
@gabrielazlateva8336 I'm not sure if this helps but my daughter just starting walking at home independently by herself literally 4 days before turning 15months. They will get there only get concerned after 18months.
@gabrielazlateva8336 to add, just let child explore safely around house that is baby proof and the more curious they become the more they want to get up and move more of those muscles in them legs to get to what they want.
Hello...i have a question please answer...my 13 month old has already taken a few independent steps but still prefers to crawl...he is not making any progress..he will only walk when you put him in a standing position
Mine as well 🤔
My girl is 15 months old and doing all the pre walking but she is just not confident enough to stand independently or walk independently! Any suggestions?
You took the words out of my mouth. My son does all of the actions off the checklist but it's the confidence within himself..how is your daughter doing and do you have any tips
Hey @conciousgrein8093 ! Weirdly enough, the day i posted this comment, she took her first steps! And now she is literally trying to run. 😂
My twins girl are of 15 months and they are also not standing independently I m much worried.
@@PujaPaulDash
Keep me posted on her journey
When she said walking is expected from 12-18 months , I got relieved 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️. My son is 11 months and he's not walking. He did not crawl to so I have been so worried
Same. Mine won’t even pull himself up. He can get into crawling position but won’t crawl
@@missmamas7017 is your child walking yet?
@@kbm124 no but trying to. Trying to pull himself up more, he’s standing up holding on to things.
How is your child now ?
I’m glad she said 18 months! Bc my son is 14 months old&still not walking on his own.
Hello! Thanks very much for your video. I have a question - my 13 month old gets very agitated or uninterested when I try to practice with her. I'm not sure how to keep her motivated. She will get interested in a toy but then lost interest or be distracted by something 5 seconds in. How do I hold her interest and how do I get in a good amount of practice time everyday?
As an FYI - she cruises in both directions, independently stands but for a couple of seconds and pulls herself up to stand holding the couch when she chooses to. Her doctor has said that her legs are strong and hasn't called out any concerns.
I look forward to your suggestions. In the meantime, I will work on the vertical surface tips you provided! Thanks again.
Good to hear that her legs are nice and strong! In terms of keeping her motivated, it's going to be different for every baby. If there is something that she shows sustained interest in, like a TV show or interacting with someone else in the room, you can incorporate that into your practice.
My son is 14 months. He stands up and grabs himself from furniture on the door window and walks back and forth he'll stand and walk on the couch or on the matress sometimes even jump but he doesnt want to walk on solid floor. Its like he is afraid to fall. When he wants to move a long distance he'll just crawl and then stand up where ever he wantsto be at. I don't know what to do. I wantedhom trained by his 18 month thats when he is turning into a big brother.
Is he walking now
Mine is 11m can I still use your video
My 13 month old seems too scared to let go and walk on her own. She will hold my finger and walk but instantly tries to lean on something when I get her to let go. Any suggestions?
This is normal and not to worry. Place objects in front knee level to get her encouraged. I was concerned when my child did this. You also have to make sure child has correct walking shoes while teaching 😊. They will progress at different levels as time go on.
hello...can you give an advice how i can help my child walk on his own...because i thought he is afraid....i mean he can walk,but he wants holding my hands only..he is 17months old....Thank you♥️
Have you got any idea? My baby is also afraid to walk independently.
Same here
16mo child
Hola!!
My baby has been standing with support since 7-8 months, and cruises since 8.5 months, she is able to pull herself up and down but wont stand on her own. She had a femur fracture from a fall when she was 4 momths😢,
Could any of this cause any delay?
She seems a bit afraid to walk😢
She is 12 months and 14 days
The average age for independent walking is 12 - 18 months, so it sounds like your child is still on track to walk independently in that time frame. Femur fractures can impact future standing and walking skills or could make her more cautious with independent movement. In addition to the activities in the video, you can also try having her stand and hold a soft toy that you also hold. That might give her more confidence while still being a challenge. If you are not seeing progress in the next 1-2 months a PT evaluation might be beneficial. Hope this helps!
My son is 15 mo adjusted and has all of the readiness skills except standing for 10 seconds. He only stands without holding onto something for a few seconds. He also has none of the red flags. Is he on track? My MIL keeps telling me he's behind.
Every child moves at their own pace. If you're seeing readiness signs and progress, give it some time. If you still have concerns after a few more months, maybe consider reaching out to a pediatric PT.
@@emergepediatrictherapy Thank you! Just since I posted that question a week and a half ago, he started standing longer on his own (up to and over 10 seconds) and now takes a few steps (2-5) by himself here and there too! Does that sound like good progress?
Yes! That's awesome!@@user-dh2ci8cl8d
My son is 13 months n not walking I’m worried
Does baby need to be able to stand up from sitting to walk?
I want to know this too
No, some kids learn that as they go. Others do it prior to walking.
It would be expected that a child can transition to standing independently (either through pull to stand at a surface or by standing independently from the floor or a squat to stand from a low surface/parent lap) before they start taking independent steps. It is important that children can access a position by some means before they are able to completely master that skill. Children typically master pulling to stand at a surface as their first method of attaining standing.
My daughter is 13weeks but not walking yet she is bottom shuffling
13 months?
I actually need help
He’s starting to move like Diddy now too
My son is 14 months and he still don’t walk yet 😞
Even mine doesn't,😢my MIL says he is late n his legs are not strong, despite him being allover climbing up and down the couches
Is he walking yet? My son is 14 months now and still isn’t walking independently
What about babies who insist on going back down to crawl between two surfaces
Let them it's part of the progress of them learning to walk. Set up toy objects they enjoy to grab at knee level to encourage them to stand up and walk.
My baby's already too independent. She "doesnt need help" &: gets so frustrated w/ herself if results aren't fast enough. Yeah, that's my babes 🥴. I tried doing the let her stand on my feet while walking and holding her hand. She didn't like it. None of her devices, would rather climb up things than use them for assistance. I had to put the Roku up high bc she's also destructive & super curious. Which is cute & fine but also twrrifys me bc she's already a little daredevil. But the standing for long thing against something, yeah when she wants to watch TV from like 1 ft away. Prob contemplating how she's ever gonna reach that blinking light thing. & Shes still sweet & clingy. Way too clingy but the only time she's holding my finger is when she's killing it bc when she sleeps I have to too. It's her screaming that bugs me. I feel like I'm losing my hearing
My kid is 18 month cant stand also too much worried
@Shabnamrajani6172
Some kids are just bit delayed don't worry. Do leg massage and leg exercises with your child.
My twins are 26months and are NOT independently walking I'm so CONCERNED. I was told twins develope different then single child. I don't understand why and how does that work? I NEED a video on twins/multiple children growth and development video.
Nice vedio
Babies will walk when they are ready. No need to push them. No two babies are the same.
Hello
My nephew is a 24 months old and she doesn't walk yet.
The Dr said that she doesn't has motrice issues (she stands, and moves her legs...) but until now doesn't walk
She seems so scared when someone try to help her and that worrying me.
Please i just want to know if it's a common case ? And what's the best soulutions, physic therappy or deep diagnostic.
Looking for your answer
Thanks in advance.
It’s is normal my child is going through the thing it’s normal he just not real best thing to do it’s just give them alil more time he will get there it’s just still new to him
@@2lovingmoms my baby is not walking also but cruise all the time he has the history of epileptic fits but he is doing everything normally but walking is delayed can it be cause of epilepsy
@@hirababar8417 no it has nothing to do with that many kids have a fear of balance so if they stand by holding onto some thing and their balance is OK try using a toy that is a walker to see if your child can move it on their own place. Your child’s hands on the bars make sure their feet are straight and see if they go start by letting them stand and walk with them 2 inches and let them try to do the rest
@@2lovingmoms yes he can use push walker and maintain his balance but he is been doing it for 6 months but not stepping for a walk seems like he is scared but I sometimes think he might got some issue with his motor neurons .he is having issue with his hands also don't use his to bring anything to eat towards his mouth .
@@hirababar8417 do u have Snapchat
you should put a motor on a stationary bike and let the motor exercise your babies legs
My son is 20 months and not walking im so worried🥲🥲 he can't balance his self to stand alone
How is your boy now? Is he stands now
Miné started standing at 9M and now she’s walking 🎉

Notice that no where in this video does she say that holding your baby “too much” hinders their ability to walk.
