My son was a year and some change before he even tried! We got him the flat top table that slides on the floor, that seemed to help with confidence. You’re doing great 💜

Do you have a pull to stand table for him and is he able to cruise along the couch?

Same here but he won’t take steps without holding onto my fingers

He’s maybe took 2 steps by himself but that’s it

But he cruises around holding onto things

I used bright starts activity center when my lil was 5-6 months and she started walking pretty quickly. I think it helped build her leg muscles. She was soon pulling up on stuff and then trying to take steps.

My 4.5y started walking at 9m, got up to 10 steps, fell down & bumped his head & went back to club crawling instead. He finally started walking unassisted again a few days after his 1st birthday & somehow managed to lose all that sense of self preservation he had earned from that little bump. Personally, we just scooted furniture & toys he could hold onto closer together & laid rugs & crawling mats in ways to help him feel safe again. They’ll get there, the best thing we can do is give them a safe place to practice.

My boy turned 1 on the second and still ain't walking 🫶🏽

One thing I learned from working in the daycare field. Every kid is different and develop at their own pace. Don’t rush or compare

My daughter was the same way when she was by herself but when her friend came she’ll walk after him then we had to move and after we came to my sister house she just started walking mainly bc of her favorite person besides her dad is my niece or she’ll walk to our food and steal it

Honestly he’s going to take off before you know it. My son took his first steps just days after his first birthday and then he ran everywhere we would go

Totally normal! One of my daughters didn’t walk until she was 14 months old!

My boy turns one on the 26th and has been walking since about 10months. What I did was lots of practice walking soon as he showed interest and used a stand behind walker as well for him to build confidence
