Hi all, I'm sorry if this has been covered before. DD2 18months crawled at a year but shows no interest in walking at all. Several well meaning people have commented on how she turns her feet outwards when we hold her with her feet down (soles facing out to the side) and so just to check, and on the hv s advice I took her to the GP to check.
They refered her to paediatrics who, in turn referred her to physio. The physio rang me yesterday and said she won't be seen until Xmas as it isn't urgent and they only become concerned if a child isn't walking by 2.
Am very confused now, should I stop worrying and relax? She can pull up on the sofa (doesn't cruise) but protests if we try and hold her to walk with our support. Has anyone else had a very late walking child? I wasn't that worried initially but everyone I seem to encounter at the moment seems really surprised shes not mobile.
Thanks for listening x
