walking baby

[kitten_uk2]

my son has just turned 18month and is yet to take his first steps independantly, what is the going age babies begin to walk and is it unsual for him not to be walking yet?x

I have 8 children and am happy to tell you that they walked anything from 11 months to 21 months so I shouldn't worry too much, they are all different. Unless he has real co-ordination problems or something else you are worried about I'd just relax and wait for him:)

My eldest daughter walked at nine months and my youngest son walked at sixteen months. They're all different, Thank God.

My friend's daughter walked at 23 months, now aged 9 she is I believe top of her class.

Never compare! Boys tend to be a bit slower than girls, mostly laziness? but if he gets about in other ways, he should be fine. If you are worried speak to your health visitor put your mind at ease.
