Granddaughter not walking

My son was a bum shuffler- showed no interest in furniture cruising or trying to walk. I started to worry when he was 19 months, but one day he just stood up and walked across the room! We made such a fuss of him he never bum shuffled again!

I was a bum shuffler and walked just before I was two. DD2 also the same, I took her to the GP and he said to me look at her legs, two good strong legs, she also walked around two

Nana children develop at different times. Don't you remember when your children where young? I well remember a health visitor fresh from uni worrying the life out of me because my daughter didn't talk until she was turned 2. But we always knew what she wanted and she had her own words for things. We ended up taking to speech therapy and there was nothing wrong. And the speech therapist said she was fed up with development charts. Children do want they want when they want.

Because my son was my 2nd child I can't remember him not talking the problem was getting him to shut up.

My grandsons where late walkers because they got everywhere faster crawling. Then they ran everywhere.

My son fell down the stairs in my old house twice. First time as a baby crawling my mom forgot to close the stair gate. Didn't know he had fallen down until we heard a cry. He was fine the doctor checked him over not even a bruise. 2nd time the little bugger climbed over the gate. Our then health visitor was matter of fact and said all 3 of her children had fallen down the stairs all of them climbed over the stair gate .

Neither of my children have ever had stair gates and my grandsons haven't fallen down the stairs.

All children are individuals even identical twins. Why is so much pressure still put on new parents I don't know . My children are 40 and 36 . You would think health visitors and the like would have the experience to realise this. And why oh why is there still this culture of parents still comparing their child to a friend's.

Just enjoy your child from when they are babies as they grow so fast and before you look around they are adults with children of their own.

3 of mine were late walkers- the latest was 20 months, but they were all huge babies so had a lot of weight to support! They all were excellent talkers though, sentences and proper conversations with my daughter at 9 months! They all develop in their own time!

My DS1 walked at 15 months while DS2 was 21 months before he pulled himself up and began walking.He was a fast crawler though, and could get what he wanted by pointing to it and crying until someone, usually his older brother got it for him.
I missed him taking his first steps though, as I had let both boys at my MIL's or a few hours.When I left him there he was still crawling, when I returned he was walking behind her at the front door!.When I expressed my joy and amazement she just casually said "Oh he has been walking all over the place here"
His two youngest children were , like him, late walkers.Both of them almost 2 years before taking their first steps.

My daughter did not walk until she was 18 months but she was a fantastic bum shuffler. Nothing to worry about.

If she is doing everything else right for her age, and she clearly doesn't lack mobility, then do not worry, one day she will simply get up and walk. DGD didn't walk until 16/17 months. Like another example, at 16 she is a talented dancer and excellent swimmer

Nothing to worry about. Everyone reaches their milestones at a different rate.

It's good that your daughter is going to discuss it with the Health Visitor, for her own piece of mind. However I'm sure that the HV will confirm that that really aren't concerned on a child under 2.
Another 6 months and you will all be wondering why you were all so worried.

I wouldn't worry about it even if it is raised as a concern. If she requires a bit of physio she will get a referral (hopefully) and she'll most probably be walking before she sees anyone

Both my boys were 18 months, there elder Sister done their bidding so there was no reason to walk.

Apparently I was a bum shuffle and didnt walk until 22 months! My eldest granddaughter dodnt walk until 20 months. Dont worry about it!

Our granddaughter was 22 months before she walked.
She was in our care for a week as her parents were both working away.
We took her each day to a soft play at a quiet time.
On day 3 she walked, she was so proud of herself.
That afternoon she was running around our garden laughing!
We sent the video to Mummy and Daddy, they cried with joy, they were convinced something was wrong.

She'll walk when she's ready. Nothing to worry about.

Definitely

She'll walk when she's ready. Nothing to worry about.

My dd was a bum shuffler too and was a late walker. Then suddenly one day she stood up and walked…

My boy didn't walk until he was two. He would stand by furniture, walk around it holding on. Then one day when he saw his sister, that was it off he went. So I shouldn't worry, babies will do what they need to do in their own time. They all reach the milestones when they are ready. Unless there has been any problems picked since birth, I think too many people automatically think there is so something wrong.

My daughter walked like a cat on all fours for quite a while. She could go very fast with no risk of falling!

16 months for son No 1 and he had the audacity to walk straight across the room without a stumble. His glee suggested 'that'll teach you not to worry!'

All mine walked at 15 1/2 months. My sister had two walk at 10 months and two at 20 months. My ex-husband walked at 20 months.

No difference between any of them by the time they were three, nor as adults. It’s not a race.

Early years are not a series of “targets” to be met.
Unless there is something physically wrong in her development she will stand up and walk when she is ready.
My middle D was nearly 2, also a bum-shuffler which of course frees up both hands for toys, unlike crawling, so there may be a connection.

My youngest granddaughter was walking at 10 months but my grandson didn’t until he was 15ths. Like I said to both my DILs when they ready they will do it no time scale just because Mollys little is don’t mean pollys should it’s not a competition. I used to child mind kids and I had one that bum shuffled and her parents thought with her being with other kids she would have been quick and one day I was giving them all a ice pop and turned to give her one she just walked towards and no stopping her after that she was 2 weeks later.

I have three children the first walked at 12 months the second 13 months and number three was just over 18 months why walk when there was everybody waiting on him, but once he started there was no stopping him.

My eldest walked at 12months the youngest at 11 months the middle one was over 19 months!! Please don't worry , she will surprise you one day. Our middle one was sitting one day and suddenly struggled up and walked across the room!!! Keep us posted .

She's good excellent vocabulary and motor skills. Good tantrums too.
