Is it normal for a baby to be not standing / pulling himself up at 18 months?
My beautiful only grandchild has been happy to sit playing with his toys until about 2 months ago when he started 'bumming' around. While this has opened up a whole new world to him I am concerned that he makes no effort to pull himself upright. He has well- informed parents who are always encouraging him. I have him 3 days a week & have everything in place for him to move from sitting to standing. I am very inter-active with him - playing, singing, dancing, reading & take him swimming at least once a week. When the weather is dry we bring him to the park/ playground each morning. He is a very happy little boy who eats well, is very outgoing and has no health issues. I also bring him on a play date with a friend's granddaughter similar age. He goes to creche 2 days a week so is mixing with other children.
I am a firm believer that all children develop at their own pace & I can see that he has quite a laid-back personality however I have 3 friends who have grandbabies the same age & all have been walking for months already so it does make me concerned. Any advice please
