Not walking? Anyone else's baby just scared to walk? I swear I'm holding on to my sons shirt and he…

Mine walks holding my hand since 8 months. He is just now learning to let go and not fall. Give it time. Can try push toys to help with little confidence and build of strength. Mine loved being chased down the hallway while he was using his push toy.

He has a walker and he loves it but he'll leave it for me to walk him by hand instead, he has taken two steps completely by himself but that's it

My son will speed race if I'm holding his hands, but if I'm not he falls or won't let go of whatever it is he's hanging on to. He's just started trying to let go but only for like a millisecond the past couple of days. He just doesn't have the confidence yet. He'll be 1 on the 1st.

Yeah I guess it's just a matter of time then!

Try giving them spoons to hold onto instead of your fingers when walking them around. Then let go when the time is right. My oldest daughter walked around with arms up and spoons in hands thinking I was still holding them lol.

Cute idea Kayla! I'll give that a try!

My twins turned 1 on the 4th and still aren't walking , probably won't for at least another month I'd guess

One seems scared

The other is wild lol

My baby still doesn't scoot, army crawl or crawl. He only sits and he's one next month..

Sam has taken a few unassisted steps here and there, but I'm not sure her realizes he's doing it.

Don't worry, it's super common for babies to not walk yet.

My son is using his push Walker more. He hates regular Walker and climbs out. Now he stands on his own and claps like LOOK MOM NO HANDS!! Then he falls on his butt. He's taken two steps but he's a scary cat. Boys are just slower than the gals. My first was walking shy of 11mos

YES. She started walking when she turned 10 months old. She's 11 now (as of yesterday) and she is terrified to go more than 10 steps. I know she can do it but she's just not ready. I can hold her shirt or let her hold my finger and that makes her feel so comfortable and she will walk all over the place.

I know they will get there on their own. ❤

Mine can now take several steps before he falls, but he still prefers to crawl.

Honestly, babies develop at their own pace and walking before 1 should not be considered standard. I have two friends whose babies didn't start walking till 16/17 months! There is a huge range of normal!

I've come to realize walking before 1 is not going to happen with my guy. He'll do it when he's ready and I'm ok with that, but I'm so sick of hearing other people ask if he's walking yet. "Is he at least trying?"

She just started having forward progress on all 4s and I am perfectly OKAY with that! My son didn't walk until 16 months, and you know what?! It was awesome!! He is FAR from slow and at 3 years old was one of the most athletic little people I have ever met and still is. Don't rush them. They know their pace.
