Baby standing whist being held

thanks everyone. Your experiences have certainly put my mind at ease.

Yeh, bit of an old wives take that one... Nina loves to do it. I was also told though that a study is out which supports the theory that walking without first crawling can lead to learning difficulties in the future...don't know the name of the study (my mother was telling me about it). I just make sure that Nina gets as much floor time on her tummy as she does when she stands to ensure she has a little crawl first!!! (Apparently it's important that they go through each developmental milestone in order to prevent any learning difficulty).
