SammyRo, you are the victim of those snippets of advice from your MIL we all just love as mothers. You know, the ones that make you feel completely guilt ridden, when 5 minutes before the advice you were feeling great about life. Don't listen!!
Crawling exercises the right and left brain. If your DD walks before crawling she will find some other way of exercising and developing her right and left brain. What are you going to do about it?? Knock her down?? Let her go. If she wants to walk - be free!!!!!!
I had the other worry - my DS didn't walk until he was 21 months old. You should have heard the advice and idle gossip getting around the place then!! PAINFUL! Now, he runs everywhere.
People like you MIL just need to be quiet and observe. She will probably crawl, even if she walks first. She'll do what she does. Can you tell this sort of stuff makes me slightly angry??
