    My DS was an early bird, started walking from me to DH at 8.5 months and now at 9.5 months is walking consistently. I don't think 14.5 months is a big issue, everything I have read says not to worry until 18 months and even then some kids are happy crawling. Bet he will start doing it now that you have posted about it LOL.

    My nephew was born 4 months before my daughter and she was walking several months before he started - don't quote me, but I think he was maybe 15 months?? Maybe older, because I can't remember him walking really well at her 1st birthday party, and he would have been 16 months old then.

    My DS was 13mths when he started walking and was 8-ish mths when he started to crawl. He will get there when he gets there - it isn't a problem. He is obviously quite happy to do what he is doing because it works so well for him - I have noticed that with some babies they tend to achieve their milestones when they need to kwim? So you may find that when he gets frustrated that he can't do something because he can't walk to it, he may start to put more effort into walking kwim?

    My DS is a while off walking, but my DH was 17 months. Some are happy to stay crawling for a while. It's pretty normal.

    A couple of the lads in my MG were 15-16 months before they started, and now at 18 months are becoming more confident and walking more than crawling. No need to worry, D

    My MCHN's DS started walking at 21 months. He had no interest in it before that (besides walking around the furniture). He is now an active boy who plays footy and all types of sport. So even with her experience as a MW back then she couldn't do anything.

    It will happen when he's ready
