My daughter is happy cruising along furniture and will bear weight on her legs but cannot stand unaided and cannot walk yet.
She also cannot clap.
She can crawl, climb, point and wave.
Do you think I should be worried that she is unable to stand/walk unaided/ not able to clap?
Thank you

No, it's totally age appropriate, walking is not considered late until after 18M.

No, all sounds fine re walking. With clapping, that's something you have to teach them and it can take a while to get it!!

Walking average is 14-15 months. Our nhs physio told us 😊

Thank you for the reassurance everyone!! I need to stop comparing her to other babies who are a similar age :( I guess she will get there in her own time

Nothing to worry about from what you've started. My LO started walking at nearly 15ms and from memory didn't really clap until he was about 18ms. Developmentally he's always been on point if not ahead in some areas and now that he's 2 I can tell you he's doing perfectly fine. The clapping thing as someone else has said is taught really so sumx it's more a case of they haven't had a chance to practice rather than they donnt have the ability per se
