I’m seeing a lot of posts about encouraging to walk .. I don’t think you can encourage it to much as they will do it in there own time! My friends LO didn’t walk until 17 months and the health visitor said they don’t worry until 18 months! So there’s so much time don’t worry girls x

We do encourage it my daughters 11 months and you can tell she just wants to walk so we try and encourage it by being home as much as possible she can’t stand on her own but can walk assisted

I agree with not worrying & they do ‘master’ it in their own time 😊 I think the difference is people trying to push them when they are not showing signs. However if they are showing of signs of wanting to practice walking/ standing etc then encouragement and help is definitely needed for practice and building confidence.
My LG is showing all the signs and is enjoying walking practice atm and is now standing on her own for long times with confidence.

My son hasn’t really had much encouragement to walk specifically, but he’s 10 months and has taken his first steps (albeit wobbly) lol. He can stand unaided and stands up from sitting unaided.
He does however have a 7 year old sister he wants to keep up with! Try not to worry, my daughter was gone 1 before she started walking :)
Yeah defo I think if there showing signs then to definitely encourage it :) I only mean about people worrying and trying to encourage it now when there not ready as there is plenty of time for walking x
