Walking

Any babies with fear to let go when walking ? My baby walks really good when he thinks he’s holding on to someone but as soon as he realizes he freaks out and holds to whatever is closer

Yeah! My daughter is the same way!!

Same!

My son was like this for months, and then one day he just started walking alone! We started putting 2 objects in his hand so he wouldn’t realize he wasn’t holding onto something!

My son was like that for a while until he built up the confidence. Then one day he just took off on his own.

How old x

Mine was holding onto everything, we cut 2 holes for his legs in a shopping bag, put him in it while holding onto the straps, and we released more and more his weight if that makes sense. Took 24 hours for him to realize that he could, indeed, walk just fine all by himself. We can't stop him anymore though haha

Same with us too! My LG is getting better but still not walking on her own. She’s 14 months

Try putting two chairs or objects that can be held with an encouragement thing like a snack on each and move them farther and farther apart until he fully believes in himself to walk on his own without anything! Something I saw on TikTok I didn’t have to do it but it seemed to work for others!

My baby only walks while holding onto something. We’ve got him down to just one hand 🤚 sloooowly but surely, he’s gotta take a step soon, right?!
