Hi I'm new here my baby turned 1 early December and isn't walking yet he stands up alone and will walk along furniture but I keep being told by other mums I know that I should be worried that he may have something wrong. Any advice would be appreciated. Smile

I think any time up to 18 months is in the normal range, most of the babies in the group I was in didn't walk till after 1 😊

I'd agree with @StampOnTheGround , the usual advice is not to worry until 18 months (especially as he's cruising the furniture). At least half of babies don't take their first steps until after they're one.

Completely agree with others. It's not a concern until 18 months.

I thought this was the case as I knew it was 18 months it just got in my head with other mums I know saying there's a delay and somethings up with my boy as he's not walking yet , thank you for your advice everyone Smile
