How old was your bundle of joy when they started to walk? I was wandering what the average age is! My mum said I started walking at 10 months...what a clever little madam i was

Eoins only just taking 2 or 3 steps (wobbly ones) and he's nearly 13 months xxx

I walked at 8 months unaided but used to carry around my walker whilst sitting in it from 6 months
sonny started walking holding on & whilst in his walker at around 8 months but didn't walk unaided until 12 months (his 1st bday actually).
he did do it once 6 weeks prior to that but then decided it was too much bother so didn't do it again till his bday.

IMO they all go at their own pace & tbh it is more hassle once they are walking

Lol tell me about it! Jayden has a wlaker but do you think he ever used it? nooooo! He would take a few steps before his first birthday but when he learnt to stand without anything around him thats when his walking really took off now he walks everywhere and i think he really enjoys it!

Lily started walking properly the week after she turned 1. My MIL claims OH was walking at 7 months, but I'm not sure if I believe that!

I walked unaided when I was 10 months old and I did think Poppy would be an early walker as she was walking holding onto my fingers at 9 months but took her first steps unaided 6 at 13 months, she is now walking instead of crawling all the time now, she is just over 14 months. She adores the kitchen cupboard that holds saucepans and tupperware and she insists on taking the dogs biscuits out of his bowl and trying to feed them to him one by one!!

Hi
Eve started walking at 10 months the little monkey and it was a complete nightmare as she was so unsteady and too little really.
I was on tendor hooks the whole time.

Yes totally agree with you EmmaLou. xxx

Emilia is 13 months (not long to 14 months) and still not walking. She has been pulling herself up, crusing, occaisonally using her walker (she's not too keen on it) and standing without support for ages now.

I am pretty sure she is capable of walking if she wanted too. I persuaded her to take a step on her own yesterday before she decided she'd rather sit down (she took a step, lowered herself to the floor and then crawled to me). She walks ok when I am holding one of her hands and even tries to run. I think because she gets around so quickly doing her funny little crawl (she has always crawled in very odd but fast way - too hard to describe) she'd rather do that.

Kara is 14 months and not really into walking on her own. She walks with the help of 2 hands but she just doesn't have the confidence yet to let go although she will walk the furniture no problem. She was born prematurely at 34+4 weeks so really she is only 13 months corrected today. She doesn't crawl either. She hates being on her tummy and is not interested in crawling. She just seemed to skip that stage.

ive heard and read that baby girls reach milestones quicker!natch lol!Benjamin started to take afew steps about 11mths and afew weeks after just set off but had many many tumbles lol!hes 15mths now and still spends most of the time on his bum lol

I heard that too! Plus I think boys can be very lazy!!!

Girls are great and boys are lazy lol. Boys are so easy going. My brother and my dad is like that. It always drove me crazy then I married Ray and he is more easygoing than the two of them put together. Girls seem more active but I don't know if that is a good thing or not. Only time will tell I suppose.

Mt dd Erin is so laid back she started walking unaided at 14mnths, she is now 15mnths and into everything.. before she could walk i was worried that she was taking so long to do it, now i wish sh'e taken a bit longer! Ha!Ha! Dont worry ladies, all babies walk eventually, do we ever here of children going to nursery crawling? Er, no. I sometimes think our relatives put too much pressure on us, Is she walking yet? All the time the same questions! Enjoy your peace while you can ladies, i have had to buy a play pen as i also have Joe who is 12 weeks, and despite what my oh thinks i dont have 4 hands! Ha!ha! x

my little man tyler was not walking till eighteen month,but in the end we found out that it was because he needed glasses.as soon as he got his glasses he responded well and started to move.
as erins mummy says enjoy it while you can they soon move and are into everything they can reach lol x

i miss the days when sam couldnt move about :lol: the house was so much tidyer!

he took his first steps on the 2nd of oct and hes a pro now! so he started walking exactly a week before his 1st birthday xxx

hi there i didnt walk till i was 14 months but my son jack started walking at 8 months 1 week ....and has never stopped since , i dont feel he was a baby very long ...this one is goin in a straight jacket till its at least one so it can be a baby for longer he he (joking obviously )xxxxxxxxxx

Spencer was about 13 months when he took his first wobbly steps and 14 months when he could do 5-10 steps. He's now 16 months and runs!
Liz x

aaarrgg - my little one is 25 months and still not walking!
She has proved she can take 2-3 steps on a few occations and was really pleased with herself, but seems to feel its not worth the hastle on a regular basis.
i have come to the conclusion that if girls are faster with some stages, walking is not it - boys seems much quicker- dare devils maybe?

Isaacwas nearly 19 months when he started walking, we found out it is because he has a condition called hypermobility which means his joints are too loose and wobbly and dont support him. My eldest 2 walked at 12 months and Alice walked at 10 months and she was a nightmare, somuch easier when they dont bother :lol:
