My son didn't walk til he was 2 and a quarter...they had him see a physio but he just did it one day by himself.
Some people on here are not helpful. 😶

Definitely not normal unless you feel she's choosing not to for some reason. I know of one toddler who walked relatively late (20 or so months) because they preferred crawling so just didn't really want to but physically they were capable of it.

Can she speak well enough for you to talk with her about it? My daughter is nearly 2 and has just started being able to communicate why she likes or doesn't like something so maybe if her communication is good you could ask her if it hurts or feels bad etc.

Interested in this thread?

Some very alarming comments here. Is your DD a bum shuffler? My DD was 22 months before she walked and her DS was 24 months. They were both very efficient bum shufflers and they are notoriously late walkers. Both one day just got up and walked. Certainly see your GP though to ensure everything is alright.

Same here and echo this advice

Hello, just curious - how is your daughter doing now? We are at the same stage now, 21 months, cruising but not walking. She doesn't say any words except some noises sometimes.
