Standing / walking

Have you tried a push walker x

My little boy is the same. He will practically run with his walker and he will walk holding my hands but the second I let go he flops to the floor. He won’t walk or stand unassisted and I have tried so much. No advice but just wanted to reassure you you’re not alone x

This was my son for ages. He was 16 months on the first, he started standing independently a couple of weeks ago and is starting to take steps now but for months he would just flop the minute he had no support.

I don’t know if anything i did helped him or would he have come to it in his own time anyway. What I used to do after changing his nappy was get him to stand and hold my shoulders while I pulled up his trousers and then I would start a game where I would try get him to stand independently (he would always fall into me) but I would try make it as fun and funny to him as possible so he was laughing. It worked 50% of the time the rest of the time he wasn’t bothered and just crawled off.

Otherwise when he did let go and start standing independently without even realising it I didn’t make a big fuss or draw attention to it… I found the more low key I was the longer he would last before realising he wasn’t supported and the inevitable flop to the ground

Try not to worry too much I was starting to think it would never happen and then one day it just did and I’m sure it will be the same with your LO xxx

Don't hold on to her, let her hold you. Don't let go, let her let go of you. If she is holding your hand let her lead follow her, say "where do you want to go?" "Take me to what you want" etc.

Don't try to force it just let her lead and she will do her own thing in her own time
