Walking

[YouAreMySunShine271]

How old was your lo when they started to walk?

[StormyBrid]

Nine months and one week. First wobbly steps taken this afternoon.

[bluecheeseforbreakfast]

10 months. But I wouldn't say it is a good thing, his mind is the same as a 10 month old whilst his body is flying around the room!

[lookdeepintotheparka]

DS was 15 months and DD was 20 months

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

12m, 9m, 15m and 26m!!!!!!

[TwinklesTheXmasFairy]

DD1 was 10m and DD2 was really late at 23m- had all the checks on her, she was fine, but why move when your older sister will get you everything you want....

[TheGervasuttiPillar]

8m first steps, walking at 10m. The next two, later, maybe 11-13m, but cannot remember for sure. Various differences in their development. The early walker was not an early reader, but he is now a good reader etc.

[sydenhamhiller]

12 m, 12m and 17 months. Echoing poster above: why walk when you have 4 family members doing your bidding?

[Jinglejohnsjulie]

DS could walk around the furniture at 9 months. He got around but bery slowly. Both started walking independently at 12 months.

[crazzzzycat]

both walked fully independently at 9 months. We've never met a child who walked earlier. I think it may be genetic as I and both brothers were 9/10m.

[Ladyhawke127]

My son was 14.5-15 months old. They all get there. He didn't crawl till he was 14 months old either.

[bluecheeseforbreakfast]

I agree that it's probably genetics, dp has a huge family,they all walked at 9/10 months.

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

2 exactly. .she has low tone

[CockyMcChicken]

14 months, 17 months and 12 months.

Middle child (ds) crawled at 6 months but refused to walk!

[JoinTheDots]

2, she has hypermobility

[JaneEyreTheRedNosedReindeer]

14 months .
I was 18 months, apparently. And a bottom shuffler!

[Ferguson]

18 months, but he was tall and waited until he could do it, without falling over.

[Lullabyte]

DS was walking, fully independent and confident at 8 1/2 months. It was a bit freaky, tbh, because no one we ever met had known a child that walked so early.

He was also properly running at 10 months (I blame his older brother who taught him the joys of playing 'chase'!)

[highlandbird]

DS1 was 18 months, DS2 has just started cruising at 7 months!

DH walked at 9 months....I think DS2 might be taking after his dad!
Youngest walker I've come across was 7 months

[tinselkitty]

12 and half months

[Sneezecakesmum]

9 and 10 months. But early walking and physical development does not equate with future intellectual ability, so don't worry about late walkers.

[rachyconks]

DD taking her first steps this last week or so and is 13 mths nxt week

[stargirl1701]

DD was 13 months.

[Womnaleplus]

DS1 crawled at 12 months and then walked at 16.

DS2 started crawling at 9 months and has since turned into an absolute nutter pulling himself up here, there and everywhere and climbing up steps etc (this is only three weeks later). I strongly suspect he will be walking before long.
