My son is delayed in walking. He is cruising on the couch and everything but not walking. He is walking on his knees. Did your babies do that?

My baby is also 15 months and doing the same exact thing. Stands by couches and cruises and walks on knees. I was told by pediatrician she could have weak ankles or issues with feet so we were referred to PT

did they say they can do something about it?

My son is doing the same thing, I’m helping him gain more confidence in walking and now he’s starting to take a couple steps on his own. Maybe helping him stand for a moment and a push toy!

My daughter is almost 15 months old. I asked the pediatrician while we were in this week about the same thing—they told me not to fret just yet ! Especially as she can walk as long as she’s holding on to something for support. Hard, but give it time too :)

My pediatrician stated that if my daughter isn’t walking by 18 months to then consider PT. She cruising and crawling around proficiently. Going to focus on building her confidence and practicing more with her at home.

My son is trying to walk. He gets over excited and will basically walk fast. He gets 4-6 steps in.

My daughter started her walking at 13 months however my grandson is 16 months and he barely walking on his own now took him a bit longer he wasn’t ready to go just yet he would go around couch and holding things but we would walk with him everyday holding his hands fully then little by little one finger less to finally just let the finger go and he took off he would stand really good on his own with no problem and get down but then he got it give it a little time your little one will get it

they said they can help strengthen her. If she is not walking or at least standing with no support by 17 months or ped is referring us to orthopedics

My daughter did the same thing! I encouraged her to walk, held her hands, helped her and everything else. I was told, walking on the knees is a sign they are getting closer to walking. My daughter will be 15 months tomorrow and is now walking, but will also still walk on her knees randomly. If you have hard wood or no carpet, try getting an area rug for them to play on. They could be cautious of the hard floor.
