Ok, I know alot of people worry about this, and I have read all (I think) the threads on this topic, but I am so worried.
Ds, not only doesn't walk, but he seems to feel very little pain in his legs. Is this a sign of something?
The reason I know that this is specific to his legs, is because if he bumps his head or hurts his hand, he cries, but if he hurts his leg he doesn't.
If he gets a vaccination in his leg he doesn't even whimper. If something lands on his leg,by accident, he doesn't make a sound. He is also not talking, still babbling, but I am not too worried about the lack of talking yet.
He can crawl and cruise around furniture.
Am I just worrying about nothing?

I'd get him assessed tbh

I don't think there's an issue with his not walking yet as he's cruising .. but I do think that you're his mother and you feel there's something not right .. so get him checked out

I agree with Twiglett.

If he's cruising that's a very good sign (bearing weight on feet) but may be worth an HV check-up. Fwiw the parameteres for walking in NT children are 9mo to 20 mo, so you still have a bit of time before you need worry too much.
