My DD is 11mo and has not once ever got in the crawl position, but she does walk reasonably well holding on. Problem is, she's been doing this for three months now, with no signs of going solo.
She has just started (very begrudgingly) cruising along the sofa on the odd occasion, as well as pull herself up a few times. Her balance isn't very good, so she generally leans against sofa when walking along rather than standing upright. I'm starting to get a bit frustrated as she is mentally wanting to investigate things, but needs me to get there (she holds arms out for me to take hands and moans until I do so)....this is most of the time now. It also makes her a sitting duck in classes as she can't really get away from other more boisterous babies if she needs to.
I'm quite tall, so back is starting to kill a bit and I'm really hoping shell get it soon. How long did it take with your LO's and any other suggestions? Thanks x
