Toddler showing no signs of independent walking

Should I be worried? She's 15 months and crawls very well (although was very slow to do so) and she can pull herself up to standing. She'll also walk holding onto both my hands - not far, a few steps and reluctantly. Sometimes she'll just refuse. Should I be worried that she's nowhere near walking yet, or even cruising? My son was slow to walk at 16 months, but he was cruising holding onto furniture by a year old. Could it be something underlying or normal? Any advice or tips to help her would be appreciated! Tia

I don't think it's a concern until they reach 18 months and that's a bit off yet Wink

Agreed. My friends little one failed totally on gross motor skills at 12 months and they said not to worry until 18 months. He walked at 18 months and no problems since!
