    When is not walking/crawling a problem?

    Milly will be one next week and is showing no signs of crawling or walking anytime soon.
    she doesnt pull herself up on furniture and cant sit up from laying down but can sit un aided.
    Everyone keeps saying she will do it in her own time but I cant help feeling a little worried.
    At what age if any is it considered ok to worry about them not doing anything?

    I'd probably be a bit worried if she isn't crawling by now, I think. Not so much walking. Have you spoken to your chn or GP?

    I have no idea really, but I would be asking questions of someone if she isn't crawling or attempting to stand yet.
    The walking, meh, wouldn't worry me at 12 months.

    Noah didnt crawl til just over 12 months... and walked at 18 months... (he was sitting from 6 mnths). I did spk to the dr about it to e sure he was ok (which he was). i dont think it is anything too dramatic just from that and she will prob do it in her own time but they would look for other things too... (muscle strength, otgher developmental milestones, reflexes etc). If it were me (which it was LOL) i would go spk to the GP just for your peace of mind. i am sure she will be fine though...

    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.
