    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?

    I am sure she is just fine and will do it when she is ready xx

    Try not to worry about it - which I know is hard when you are lugging around a heavy immobile child all day!

    My DS did not start crawling till he was 15 months old, and only started walking a month ago at 18 months.
    He did however bum shuffle from around 14 months.
    Each baby is different and and am sure in time your DD will take off and you won't know what hit you

    DS1 rolled everywhere for ages then started commando crawling around 11 months and proper crawling 13 or 14 months and didnt walk till 21 months!!! He would occasionally pull self up from 13 months old but not regular until 19 months!!

    DS2 bum shuffles everywhere has done since 10 months and occasionally trys to pull self up but if I hold his hands he is not interested in trying to walk!

    If you are worried speak to a DR or MCHN.

    Does she move at all in her way?

    ETA DS2 can only get himself to a sit if on our bed, on floor he can't. He has sat unaided from 6 months.
