Hi hun, my DS was 19 months old when he finally started walking (well, running really) and he was only crawling properly at 14 months (commando crawled for aaaaaages before that). I was asking my friends at the time if they knew how to encourage little ones to walk, and one friend told me to line chairs close to one another so your LO has to take at least 2 to 3 steps to get from one to the next and then move them further and furter apart till she has to make a few good steps. Worked for us, especially if there was somethig on the next chair that DS really wanted...
