When did your baby walk for the 1st time?

Every baby has its own time schedule for different things. When your baby starts to walk or talk has nothing to do with their intelligence although some parents, especially if their child tends to do things earlier than other kids, like to think their child is much brighter than others. It simply isn't true. My first little girl was 8 months and 3 weeks old when she began to walk. My last little girl was 14 months old when she took her first step. They both seem pretty normal to me. Your little girls sounds as though she is right on schedule. Quit worrying and just enjoy each day with her.

Dont worry your little one is fine i have three children and they all started walking at different times. One started when he was 11 months the next when he was fourteen months and my little girl was really lazy liked to be carried i think she didnt start till she was 16 months. They are all different.

My daughter turns 1 in 11 days, and she walked for the first time on the 1st of March. She took her proper steps, and we were so proud! Honestly, dont stress if your baby isnt walking yet, every child is different. One day she will be crawling, the next she will be running through the lounge room.

I think there is no sense in comparing children to each other. Every child is different and develops at his/her own pace. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about what the other children are doing. My older daughter was walking and running around by her first birthday. My younger daughter didn't walk until she was about 15 months old. We attributed this to the fact that she's small for her age, and thus everyone carried her most of the time. When we finally started putting her down and encouraging her to walk on her own, it only took her a few weeks to do it. Don't worry about your daughter. When she is ready to walk and feels comfortable doing so, she will.

I have two sons, my eldest who is now three years old learned to walk on his own at around 1 yr and three months, his brother though learned to walk a bit earlier at around 1 yr and 1 month. Kids learn to walk at different ages really, some before they turn a year old while others learn to walk later. Don't worry, your little girl will walk pretty soon, nothing to worry about!

Well, talking to a pediatrician they say it is normal for children to develop at different rates. For example, my son started walking at nine months, but my daughter didn't walk until 14 mo. To make you feal better, here is a quote from an article approved by the medical advisory board, written by Dr. Paul Young, M.D. at: www.babycenter.com "Many perfectly normal children don't walk until they're 16 or 17 months old.

I have two kids and they both started to walk when they were 9 months old. They kids only start walking when they are up to it. When their legs are strong enough to hold them. It's a natural feeling I believe. It doesn't matter when your daughter is 1 year old and still not walking. She will go to when she's ready. You can help her a little by holding her hands when she stands up and pull a little back so she has to make a step. Not to much walking in the beginning that's not good. When your kid likes it you wil see the joy in her eyes.

It's all normal. Don't worry. My daughter was walking around 11-12 months and my son was walking around 13-14 months. And some babies don't walk until later. SO don't worry. She will walk when she is ready.

Yes, It's normal. In fact, I think the norm is around age one, and they say you shouldn't worry until they are 18 months. I had a friend where her daughter didn't start until she was 16-17 months. My son started at the end of his ninth month, but he's always been very active. I have also heard, (and it's what I've always noticed) is that kids focus on one new skill at a time, if she has been talking alot, this would help to explain why she's not walking yet. She's practicing her words, and will get to walking when she's ready. Even if she doesn't seem to be doing much of anything else, I still wouldn't worry, if she's pulling up, it won't be too much longer until she takes those first steps.

My oldest was about one when he started walking and my 2nd about 11 months. At he time the doctors thought it was quite odd that my children weren't walking yet but it has proven to be normal for them as they are now much older and very bright. If there are other hints something might not be right, then I would investigate further, but otherwise, know normal is a broad range!

All kids develop differently but I always encourage my children to try things out and it seems to help them develop physically. When my kids were infants I would let them play on the floor to strengthen arm and neck muscles, switching them from tummy to back every now and again; not only do they get a new view but it encourages them to roll over. Same thing with walking, let you child pull up on things, climb on things, etc. Before my last child could walk I bought him an indoor play set with a slide and he could climb up the back and crawl to the slide and go down. My first daughter walked at 10 months as did my last child, my son. My middle daughter took a little longer because my husband stayed at home with her when she was small and didn't interact with her very well so she developed very slowly, she had to attend therapy sessions for her lack of speech and motor skills. The more positive interaction, the more your child will develop mentally and physically.

i agree with teresa! lol! i didnt realize how easy i had it when my son wasnt able to walk yet. and now, he is alll over the place and gets into everything. he didnt start to walk until he was 13 months. i was starting to try it out at 11 months, but then one day, he just stopped, for a whole month! i have no idea what that was all about, but i wasnt concerned, i knew he would walk when he was ready. and once they get the walking thing down, be ready to start running, becuase it doesnt take long for them to figure out that they can go faster. haha.

my son is 13 months old and hes still not walking yet. he pulls himself up and walks along the furniture but hes still not walking. when i took him to the doctors a few days ago he told me that some babies dont walk until 18 months. he told me my son will walk when the time is right. so yes it is normal that your daughter isnt walking yet.

i m sure that it s normal becuse some babies can walk later and it wont shows that they have problems or they r not maybe inteligent.they move forward just a little bit later .

My granddaughter just started walking last week. She turned 15 months old yesterday. We thought she was never going to walk but one day out of the blue she started. But she was pulling up on things before she walked. So your daughter will walk too before long.

My little one didn't start pulling up on things until she was 12 months old. She tried walking around 14-15 months, but didn't master walking until 16 months. I don't think it's a big deal if they walk a little later than 1 years old.

My daughter showed signs of walking on her 9th month.. On her 10th month, she can walk but with someone holding her.. On her 11th month, she started walking without any help.. But I was an earlier walker than my daughter.. My mum said that I was 7 months old when I started walking.. When I was 8 months old, I was a flower girl at my aunt's wedding..

yes its normal i posted not to long ago about my nephew he turned 1 on jan 31 and he is still not walking.hes pullin on stuff and even walking with toys as he pushes them along.a friend of ours little guy is 9 months old and he is running everywhere i thought oh my god is he gonna be behind cuz this babys 9 months and walkin all over the place its absolutly normal all kids are different some walk earlier than otheres does not mean they are slow behind there just gonna do it when they are ready.

my daughter is 14 month and she is walking and has been for a couple of month but don't worry you baby will probably be walking by the time she is 18 month my niece was 2 before she walked hope this helps

I would have no worries about your daughter if I were you. There is no set rule as to when they should start walking etc. Every child is different. I have 4 kids, my first two both started walking a week before their 1st birthday's, my third however didn't start walking until closer to 16 months, and my last baby, just turned one in late Feb. and he has been walking since early January. Let them take their own time in doing things, and try not to compare too much with your friend's children as this will only drive you insane. Just appreciate your daughter for her own unique style, as I am sure that there are things that she is mastering that some of them have had no clue about and won't for a couple more months yet. I would say to you though that if she hasn't started at least trying to walk by 16- 17 months maybe just take her to the dr. to see that everything is okay and there are no problems.
