How long after baby started walking until they could stand from sitting

[phillyp]

Almost 18 month old DS took his first steps 2 weeks ago. He is getting more confident walking without support and if I put my hand out to help him up he gets straight up with my help but just wondering how long roughly before they're able to stand up from sitting position? He usually pulls himself up on the furniture or me and then off he goes. I'm not really pushing him, especially as he's really not well at the minute but just curious as to how long it took others for them to master it. His preferred method of getting about his still crawling, as he's super fast and gets him where he wants to be quicker.

It was at least a month for DS, maybe more. He too was relatively late to walk (about 16 months). He pulled up on furniture/people for ages as well as his preferred method of getting off the floor.

About 6 weeks for both of mine, but they were younger (independent steps 11 months, stood up without any help 12.5 months for both of them, oddly enough). Walking quickly replaced crawling once they could stand themselves up.

Current little one stood first, then walked. Went from standing up independently to first steps within a week or so.
