    My DD is just only started to walk..she is 14mths. I have a GF who's DD didn't walk or crawl at 16mths, never crawled, just got up one day and walked (a Milly too!) and is just fine, probably one of the smartest in her grade.
    If you are worried, have her checked out. The not sitting up from laying down could be a muscle thing, perhaps a physio?

    Lady P is 10 months on Wednesday and is only just starting to look like she is going to crawl.
    She has been sitting unaided for months but she doesnt roll. She has always hated tummy time with a passion so I guess thats why she has never shown any interest in crawling.
    She has been in a walker for the last month and I think this has helped her want to move and explore.
    My boys were all early walkers with the last two crawling at five months and walking confidently by 9 months.

    I 2nd the ask if your concerned but otherwise I wouldnt be too concerned just yet if everything else seems ok.

    DD1 here crawled at 15 months and walked 2 days later - she was a pudding and I think it was a wee bit harder to pull herself around - plus she had our undivided attention so prolly had no need! xx

    DD was sitting unaided at 5 months, but didn't sit herself up until closer to 1. She didn't crawl or pull herself up on furniture at all, at 13 months she started walking and within a couple of days she could stand from the ground so never needed to pull herself up.

    I think weight bearing is more important than actual walking for potential problems. Will she stand up if you are holding her hands?
