My DH's nephew was walking at 9 months...and it looked wrong....he looked like a midget. He was also prone to more injuries, i guess being his age....we cant win can we ???!!!!

Yes Ash ended up in hospital with burns to his hands from the oven, a bump to the head from falling off the bed, and a sprained wrist from falling over. Way more prone to injuries. It did look a little funny but he was also tall for his age.

I have a girlfriend whose little girl didn't walk until about 18months or barely even crawled. They too had her 'checked' out but she was fine. She just wasn't interested in it. She was very good at doing things, like eating with a spoon and fork very early and drinking out of a cup with no lid from a very early age though, things that my DS is still getting the hang of! I think they all just develope differently.

DS didn't walk until 21 months. We thought he would be 18 and down the pub with his mates and they would have to pass him his beer as he sat on the floor.

He just suddenly stood up and walked. Now, he runs.

my friends' DD is 15mths and not walking. I dont think she's even cruising yet
