Hello!
My son is 16 months old and still not walking. He's such a character-making us laugh all the time. He understands so much and the hv commented at his 12 month check that he's got really good understanding of what it said to him etc. So I hate to be one of those parents that is worried that they are not doing something by a certain age. But I was just hoping for advice of how I could perhaps help him?
He rarely sits down, he prefers to stand up holding on to the sofa, his play table etc. He also walks whilst holding on to sofa, walks around his play table holding on. He is also a superb climber! We walk him from my husband and I but he knows our trick so refuses to let go of our hand/finger. My sister in law suggested walking with him and only holding one of his hands and so we do that and he laughs. He's just really not interested or in any rush to do it himself! He hasn't yet stood on his own, but as said previously he does stand holding on to things and he pulls himself up.
Are you supposed to see a HV at a certain age if they're still not walking?
Thank you in advance! X
