My LO didn’t walk until they were nearly 2. At 3.5 they are exactly where they should be in terms of gross motor skills - not behind at all. However, when we finally got to see a physio (aged nearly 3), they said we should have been referred at 18 months as it’s not normal to not be walking at 18 months. As you can see from our case, there may not be a problem but please push your GP for a referral just in case.
