13 month old walking gone backwards!?

[peaky297]

I know its not uncommon for little ones not to be walking by 13 months, but my little one seems to have gone backwards!
At one point we were convinced that she would be walking by her 1st birthday as she was pulling herself up to standing, cruising and walking well with her push-along toy / holding hands by 10 months old and had also had a few periods of standing unsupported. However, a couple of months ago she totally lost all interest and flops down to her knees when you try to get her to stand or walk whilst holding your hands and will only use the walking push toy when prompted. She still pulls to standing, cruises a lot and is a wicked fast crawler, so I dont think its a physical issue.
I just don't understand how she has suddenly lost all interest after being so into it when she was younger. She has been babbling and talking more lately so don't know if that's anything to do with it?
Keen to hear other views and experiences for peace of mind! Thanks.

Bump again 🤞

Kids are weird and sometimes you can't work out how their brain is working lol. Doesn't necessarily mean anything is up. She might well just be concentrating on other skills. Remember as well that even minor accidents/scares might be enoigh to make them more hesitent. Mine took first steps at exactly age 1 but took her about a month after that to walk exclusively and she elected to crawl for ages after that. They're funny buggars haha. If she's happy and no obvious deformities with her legs or weight baring then I wouldn't worry. She'll take off in her own time x

My ds went through a phase of doing this around the same age. He would happily pull himself up and cruise around all day but if you tried to stand him up he would lift his feet or bang them to scoot back down into sitting! Think he was just trying out being rebellious because he had been fine with being stood up previously! He took his first independent (very steady) steps just before his first birthday but chose to crawl or only walk short distances for the next 2 months before deciding that he wanted to walk full time at 14 months! Babies are weird...

It's really common.. sometimes confidence to let go, sometimes because it's quicker to crawl..
