I feel like every other June baby we know is walking, and has been for a while now. My girl took a couple of solo steps about 3 weeks ago and I really thought that was the start of it but no, she just won't. She'll happily walk everywhere holding 1 hand but the moment you let go she drops straight down. I feel like she's not even wanting to stand on her own any more.
I'm not sure if its just me but it feels like she's actually regressing in terms of her gross motor skills rather than getting better.
She's just turned 13 months so I know there's still loads of time before we officially have to worry that she's not walking. But what can I do to help her with her confidence? She absolutely refuses to use a push along walker. We have 3 different types and she won't even entertain touching any of them..

Not sure if this is helpful but my 13 month old has just taken her first couple of solo steps this week and hasn’t really bothered since. They really do pick when they can be bothered to do things. 13 months is still very normal not to be walking yet 😊

My baby isn't waking either and isn't really much of a crawler. He's happy sitting. I'm actually a bit stressed about it too though other mums tell me some just walk late..
