Cruising is when they hold onto things to try and walk around. Couches, chairs etc. They grab them to stand and start walking and keep holding on. You could let them cruise by holding your hands, but really they will just learn in their own way and at their own speed. Don't rush them. I've heard that if a baby crawls for a longer time, it's a sign that he/she will be more intelligent.

Cruising means they are walking while holding onto furniture, people, and other things. I would say not to worry, if they are cruising walking won't be too far away. But you could use one of those walk behind toys or an exerciser to strenghten the baby's legs. Or try to distract them with a toy or treat and they won't realize they let go of the furniture when they go to get it.

well, "cruising" in baby terms, to me, means that they are being quick little buggers! whether they are crawling or walking they are here one moment and there the next.
as for helping them walk....
i would have plenty of floor time with them. hold onto them to help them balance, hold onto their hands to help them take their first few steps. have 2 adults sit facing each other and hold onto baby's sides. then, was baby starts to walk towards the other person let go of them, so they take 1-2 steps on their own and then are held onto by the other person. then, do a big "yeah!!!!!" and clap your hands alot. then, do it again!
once they start getting the hang of it, buy them a toy that they can push around. fisher price etc. makes TONS of them.
have fun!

Try putting a AA battery in each hand .(be right there of course)
Stand behind them . They think they are holding your fingers and should start that way.
Cruising is advanced crawling . Sometimes if they are really good at crawling they will start walking a little later.

Cruising is when they walk holding onto furniture and move from one piece of furniture to another.
I recommend holding both their arms and letting them walk. When they first do that they are amazed. I also recommend getting a push toy. That worked wonders with my daughter who is a late walker.

I don't know about the cruisin part.... but it depends on the baby. I am significantly older than my brother and sister who are twins. My sister was lazy and we practically had to make her sit-up, crawl, pull herself up, and even attempt to walk. We just kept pulling her up and holding her hands abover her head and put one of her favorite people in front of her... they called her and gave her confidence. Start out in shorter lengths.. and keep spacing them out as the baby gets the hang of things.
My brother on the other hand did all of thise things by him self, and when he started pulling himself up.. he used the table to steady himself and would walk around it. He would let go and take a chance, fall, and get back up.
Good Luck!

Hold the kid's hands and walk backwards, which allows him to walk forward. Give him words of encouragement like "Wow, big boy! There you are, growing up! What a great kid!" It won't be long before he's running everywhere and you are huffing and puffing to keep up.
