Try buying one of those pushcarts for babies. This might get her comfortable walking without you and help build her stamina. If you don't want to buy one more toy, show her how she can walk if she is pushing your laundry basket around (if she goes too fast, put some towels in it). Once she is comfortable walking alone, she'll realize how much fun it is.

Be at ease. My daughter didn't start walking until 14 months. She could "move" on her hands and needs... pull up and tear the house apart...but she wouldn't walk on her own. When she was about 10 months...she let go and walked across the room.... on her way back she stumbled and popped her head on the sofa leg. From then on out... SHE WOULD NOT WALK.... until 4 months later. I say that to say, perhaps she has fallen or something somewhere and it really frightened her. Once she gets over that memory and builds her confidence back up she'll start walking. If she is crawling, walking assisted... and what not, she's fine. motor skills are working. Give her time, encouragement and patience and she'll be walking in no time.

She looks like a comparatively intelligent female to me, she is in simple terms a `overdue walker´. she will do it in her own time. I guess she will in simple terms walk sometime quickly and sweetness you. i'm a million of 6 babies. I walked at 18 months and one in each and every of my sisters walked at 10 months! My daughter is 3 hundred and sixty 5 days and doesn´t look the slightest waiting to stroll yet. She didnt circulate slowly till 11 months and is now a consultant. My pals little boy became walking at 9 months! i verify out him and am so grateful my daughter isnt walking yet lol!

My cousin was a late walker as he was afraid to stand on his own. He would do it sometimes if you let go of his hands then he would realise it and panic and sit down. He's 21 now, he's just fine. I can't remember when he got over it, but he did. It was just a mental thing, like kids being afraid of clowns!
So long as she is capable of walking it doesn't matter if she does it or not. She probably just finds crawling faster and easier. Particularly if your home is kind of small (like mine), why walk when you can walk around the furniture and get basically everywhere.
Don't fret about it! If you are really worried talk to her doc. But honestly, I think she is fine.

Don't worry about it, she WILL walk when she's ready. You say she's crawling alot and fast, and that she can cruise, well it seems she can walk when she wants to... so if that's the case, just let her baby it out. She will be fine. They all do things at their own pace. As long as you know that it's coming, don't worry about it. Encourage her to reach up to the table (warning - this is something you may really want to think about - because once she does it, she will always do it) but then she will have to get up and reach. But let her reach up to get things she wants.... give her things to climb on in the livingroom, let her climb on the couch, take her to parks to let her run around with the other kids (if that's possible with the weather)....
she'll be fine :)

If she is holding you and the sofa it sounds like she is not far off. My son did that until he was comfortable. You might try to "bribe" her with something she likes alot. I used to dangle my car keys in front of him or use Cheerios. My son crawled alot, and then one day...BOOM!! He walked. It sounds like your daughter was just focusing on developing in other ways. And try to remember that the development charts are only charts. Each baby is different. I wouldn't worry. My 3rd son walked at 13mos. He is 18mos now and still doesn't even say mama or dada. His doctor says it is completely normal.

If she is crawling that means that she doesn`t have any phisical problems. Hold her by the hands at start. Every child has it`s own way of development. try to consult your pediatrician. don`t worry she will do it.

Maybe try some of those walking toys were they hold onto the handle and it helps them walk.

put her in the middle of a room and a toy she wants across the room, she'll walk when you stop transporting her to everything
