My son started walking when he was 10months old,my other son started to walk when he was nearly 11months,but my daughter was nearly 2 before she walked,my niece was 11months,my nephew was 1yr 6months,so i guess what I'm saying is that they are all different,that the great thing about kids,you never know whats going to happen,if they were all the same it would be pretty dam boring.
She will do it when she's ready&then you'll be saying sit down,stay away from there,thats when the fun starts,don't worry enjoy her milestones,they will come in time.

Just be patient. She will start when she wants to and then there will be no stopping her. I recommend the push along toys, and give her reasons to get up on to her feet, hold her hands to let her walk across the floor- don't get her any shoes until she is walking and able to feel her way with her feet, shoes can hinder the process if they don't know what they are doing properly, no matter where they are made.

Good luck, and enjoy the time that you have without her running around, opening doors, escaping, that sort of thing.

do not use something to diminish mobility inclusive of walkers, playpens, jumpers. placed her on the floor and enable her go. you may also carry her hand and walk such as her. you may want to contact her clinical specialist although. some little ones do in basic terms commence later than others yet 18 months is amazingly pushing the decrease. She must be checked for actual defects of the hips and knees and also for developmental subject matters. the quicker those products are stuck the more effective in all chance a classic existence is accessible.

My daughter didn't walk until she was 16 months. Someone gave her a pull along spider and she got hold of the string and stood up and walked. If she has been checked for anything thing else do not worry they all do it in their own time once she is up and running you will wish she wasn't. She might not walk just run every where then. then you will be sorry..

i was worried about my baby at 14mths, then a friend of mine, when we where shopping then held her under the arms and encouraged her to take steps. she took a few fell and took a few more. so from then on i did the same for about ten minutes each day and within a few days she was holding on to me with both hands, and with in a week she was starting to hold on with one hand. a couple of weeks down the line she still holds with one hand. she really isn't confident to let go at all. that has been what i learnt about it all, it was confidence and fear of failure. slowly now she is gaining that confidence, and now she smiles when she is doing well. also i would take to the playground for her practice session so she could see other kids running about.

the strange thing is, that if i tried to get her started, she didn't want me to. it actually took someone else to do it first, someone she could fail with. so it is about me too. she doesn't want me to see her fail. it's heart renching really... but i'm proud she is making progress.
hope this story helps. main thing is don't worry too much about it. just take it really slowly... don't force her if she doesn't want to, let her be in control, and before you know it she will want to walk all the time.

My son was late to walk. He'd "couch surf" from one piece of furniture to the next. I got him a toy called the "resuce rider." It was a little truck that he could ride on & had a back rest that you could hold onto & push as you walked behind. Kinda like a walker on wheels for babies. (Walkers like you would see older people using) After about a week playing with the thing, he was trying it by himself.

we tried everything! my son was delayed and didn't walk until he was 18 months.
How we started is my husband and I sat just far enough apart that he first could switch from my hand to my husband's without letting go and we slowly sat farther apart until he had to let go, take a step, and then grab the next person's hand. After he took that first step without holding on, I cried. Less than a week later, he was running around.

It worked for us, maybe you could try that too.

I think some children are just not as interested in it. my daughter is almost 1 and she has started to toddle about but only when she is desperate to get something thats normally out of her reach. I think your daughter will do it when she feels confident. my brother didnt walk until he was 2. my daughter just got up one day and toddled like she had been having a go behind my back!
does your daughter cling to you when you are doing anything it might help just wandering around with her clinging to your leg so she gets her balance and confidence up. it may also help to go to a shoe shop that sells specialist baby shoes (such as clarkes) they help with the walking motion as they have a rounded heel and toe. they do wonders! otherwise just hang on to one of her hands and lead her around. eventually she will get the idea she can do it on her own.

Sounds like my son, does she like the water? do you have access
to a pool ?My son refused to walk, he just scooted everywhere.
But when we put him in the shallow side of the pool with arm floats
he walked all around the pool, the MD. said the water bouyancy
helped keep him up. Just be right there with her and make it a fun time.

we bought our daughter a little walker from the early learning centre for her 1st birthday and she loves it now. Also, we held her hand and made her walk everywhere, and now she walks on her own and shes 16 months.
