    I think confidence comes with time..she'll walk when she is ready to! Considering she's not yet 1 I think she is doing great! DD is 13 months and has only just started walking holding our hands, although it's a really odd half sideways crab walk and she relies on our hands so much. She's still a long way off walking as she is very wobbly. It will happen, probably when you least expect it!

    I agree.. i think just give her time. She will get there when she is ready. DD didnt walk until she was about 14 months, DS was before he turned 1. So they are all different and she will work it out.

    My DD is doing EXACTLY the same thing! She's 16 months old and she's managed to take two solo steps a week ago and the other day I watched her go from our couch to our tv cabinet which meant she couldn't hang on to either for a second. But with each day that passes, I see her get a little bit more confident so I know it won't be long. She wants to walk if I put shoes on her, as opposed to just having socks on. Good luck to your little one!
