How long from standing to walking?

[MacabreMe23]

dd is 16 months and she stood on her own with no support for the first time today!
she has been cruising for months.
Just wondering how long it willbe before she walks, is it immenient? how was it with your lo's?
thanks,

At that age I'd say next week - she's just lacked the confidence to let go - now she'll be well away. Mine did the same at 14 months - and isn't it annoying when everyone else is bragging that theirs being 'advanced' because the walked at 2 weeks or whatever. And just wait for the potty training!Have you seen the thread from the mum who wants to know if her 'little man' is very advanced because he's crawling at 14 weeks?

It can vary enormously.

dd was standing alone from about 9 months and walked at 13 months. Took her another 3 months at least before she was walking steadily and all the time.

ds cruised for ages and rarely stood alone. He took his first steps at 17 months, just got up and walked across the room one day. Within a week he walked all the time (very steadily too)

blimey, crawling at 14 weeks. I'd be tempted to nail him to the floor for a bit of peace & quiet.

IMO early development is damned inconsiderate of a child

hooley boy is 9mths and just seems to want to stand up to get a better view, no more ambition than that at the moment, which the cats are happy with because he's way too interested in them...

yes fortY+ had it up to here with the bragging and sympathetic look's 'oh she isnt walking Yet' etc...
Mercy your ds sounds like my dd.
dd's been practicing her standing all daY and she claps herself as shes standing
aw hooleY dd loves cats too!

DD stood on her own at 13 months, and was walking by 14.

My dd is 13months old and has just started standing alone...she doesn't seem to want to take it any further yet though...she stands for ages, then sits back down to crawl away. She has done a few steps on her own inbetween furniture but still prefers crawling.
Hopefully won't be much longer though.

DS (now 20 mths) crawled at 7 mths walked quite "early" by 10 mths and I honestly don't think this is any reflection on his intelligence or my (obviously) "excellent" parenting skills, it is probably genetic - I didn't walk til over 13 mths but dh skipped crawling and went straight to walking at 9mths,( and trust me, as far as I can see this "early" development has not resulted in darling hubbies' advanced mental aptitude, love him though I do!) Also, DS has been quite "late" in his language development and other children are managing sentences while he babbles and has quite a small vocab. Really, all I am saying is that all children develop differently, different skills are being honed while others are on the back burner. As parents we look to other babies for signs that our child is "normal", but really with these major development stages, the spectrum for "normal" is so great, that it is pointless looking at what the Jones' baby is doing as an indicator. Also, the "oh poor you, your baby can't walk, talk, recite shakespeare, split the atom yet" brigade are so annoying that they ought to be relegated to their own little competitive child-rearing island, for the sake of humanity IMO.

I get the impression most kids have a stage where they stand and don't walk but my ds didn't - once he stood he walked. So presumably that means your little one could be off any day!!

my dd stood around 13mths and was walking around 14mths - although she found it easier in other peoples houses cos we have laminate which isn't great for learning to crawl/walk!

lol at hooley mama - my two cats had just forgiven us for dd (3 years) however since we brought ds (now 5mths) home our cats have only come in for food

my ds is nearly 19 months, and is neither walking or talking!
The only skill he has mastered is climbing onto everything and getting stuck!

DS1 - never crawled, didn't really master bum shuffling either, stood (with help) about 11 months, started crusing round furniture (and finally pulling himself up if he was close enough to hold onto something to help him) at 12 months - and walked independetly at 18 months .

DS2 - crawled at 7 months, stood at 8 1/2 months, walked at 10 months,

essanel - you're right about laminate, but I figure by the time hooley boy does learn to walk he'll be able to skate too. Could save me a fortune in lessons..and it gives the cats a headstart

ds is 16 months old, he has been walking around furniture and holding my hand and using his walker for a couple of months, but he seems to have no confidence in letting go, although yesterday we were having him walking to each of us quite alot, he just isn't confident letting go under his own steam yet. I reckon he will be by the end of the month though as he has come on so much in the last week.

He can slos stand alone, if he is occupied, but as soon as he realises he sin't holding on to something he will sit down

Tattie100 how I laughed at the competitive parents' being banished to their own island! I did develop a strategy re: the sympathetic response re: late walking and the fact that mine were both still in nappies at nearly 3. When some one started bragging about about theirs walking at 2 weeks/potty trained at 3 weeks etc I would smile sweetly and think to myself 'Well at least it's nice that they'll achieve SOMETHING in life!'. Was never mean enough to voice this opinion out loud, though!
