so my son is 16 months coming up to 17 months and he's still not walking . But, he can walk with a walker by himself , he can stand up by himself for a few second . Do i need be concerned? is there any mom with children which were late walkers ? He also still not pulling up.
Doctors / health visitor / consultant said he is absolutely fine but i'm still abit worried

Normal age range for walking is 12-18 months. Nothing to worry about....trust your baby, he sounds like he is doing great!

I would do activities to encourage him to pull up to stand with support of a chair or table - put some favourite toys onto a coffee table, chairs or couch and have him crawl and then pull up to get them. Vary the heights of the toys to encourage this, and help him as needed. There is a fine line between letting him figure it out without him getting too frustrated or upset. It is 100% okay to help and support while he is trying!
