Please experienced mothers or peadiatrician should advise me.
My baby is one year but she is yet to crawl, stand unsupported or walk.

I took her to her peadiatrician and he said that some children are slow and there is no problem.

I am really worried since this is my first child and have not seen any baby that had not started crawing at one year.

I feel ur pain. But is ur child doing other things that she should be doing at this age though?

Keep on praying and have hope. Like ur Ped said, she might just be 'chilling'. Although it's male kids that usually lag most of the time.

Good luck. All will be well

aaw!
i hope your child walks soon!

Hmm,don't know about the crawling but my mum told me i started walking without any support at the age of 3 _dang. Take it easy with her and am sure she would surpise u soon. Babies of nowadays mature very fast.

You need not to worry yourself. My daugther started walking when she clocked one. So just give her some time,am sure by the time she starts walking, you would get tired of chasing her around.

Do you carry her alot?

Do you carry her alot?

Yeah, that's another good question. Some babies like to cling on to their mothers a whole lot !

get that child to another doctor and get a thourough check up done, don't worry all children develop differently maybe he start walking without crawling.

well dnt think there is anything wrong with her, give her time and encourage her to stand, crawl
our youngest sista took ages to crawl

so be patient, it soon be thing of the past

doctor? not too sure

I suppose because that child is your first, it is most likely that you guys have always carried the child.
Don,t carry that child so often, allow the child to push itself arround keep things arround him/her and let the child get them without assistant. That way those limbs will start getting strong through those exercises. Be rest assured that in no time everything will be alright.

_{Your baby needs Jesus.}

O.k!! Now let me get serious.


There is absolutely nothing wrong with your child. I am no parent but I practically raised two kids _{(Long story)}. Just make sure the child is properly fed, especially foods rich in calcium _{(for strong bones)}, then get the child some walking aids _{(Like a baby walker, e.t.c)}.

Create a condusive, soft, hazard free place in your home where you can put the baby on the floor and he/she can roll over or even fall without hurting his/herself.

Their was also a trick, we use on one of the kids. We kept his food on the floor nearby but out of his reach and let him try to get it. At first it did not work but later.

Just be pateint, some kids are faster than others.

@imme,

She will walk. I know how u feel. My boys walked around 15 months.

Don't stress yourself, my son did not walk till he was 15 months too.

My friend's son didn't walk until he was 16 months old and he's perfectly normal.
Also, always a good idea to let babies exercise their leg muscles if they show a desire to stand (when you are holding them). I know there's this old wives' tale that the baby will have bow legs if he/she starts to stand early - bow legs have nothing to do with how early your baby stands.

You need not worry female children tend to be late in crawling walking and even talking sometimes , there is absolutely nothing wrong with your child eh!

don't worry yourself too much, he will crewl when he is ready, if u try forcing him he will be scared,
I saw this with my 11 months old boy, he is too scared to stand alone, he can hold on objects and work around the home but can't just surport u trying to make him work.

My friend's son crewled at his 13th month, she almost go crazy thinking her boy wont even work, but thanks to God he did walked.

My first boy walked at 10 months old, every child is not thesame, so i didn't want to get border over him not working even befor his first birthday.

It's how God wants it, after all he is medically ok so why worrying.

Try not to worry since your pediatrician said nothing is wrong, (they know what they talking about), some babies don't even crawl before walking, i remember i went through something similar with my 3 years old who didn't walk till she was almost 2 but was tip toeing, i was so worried but her health visitor keeps assuring me not to worry that's it's a normal and that some babies do tiptoe, it got to a stage that i went to see the GP and insisted he referred her to the hospital, it then turns out that the muscle in her feet needed stretching, she was in cast for 3 weeks and after then she started walking perfectly, what I'm try to say is that i know how you feel especially when people keep asking why is he/she not walking yet, try not to worry, the pediatrician would have said if something was wrong as he/she would have examined her

My little girl didnt crawl until she was a little over one (she was lazy and afriad) she didnt walk til she was just approaching two. All is fine now.

rrr

Thank you everybody for your contributions. It gave me alot of hope especially those that sighted practical examples. But please remeber her in your prayers.

@imme,the advise of nairalanders are good and very encouraging.i did also draw some inspirations on everybody that contribute to this trends ,a lot of them have personal experiences.My own son is now 14 months he just started crawling, he  was born prematurely at 7 months,Dr said everything is fine with him, they referred him for occupational and physical therapy which i sincerely did not see improvement with, as a nurse i was worrying my self sick thinking my son have some kind of disability, i keep requesting for different test each time he has a well baby chec up trying to check if something is wrong, honestly everything is just fine with him.I called my mom to tell her the development.you know what she said, Gracee relaxed,go back to work ( i stopped working shortly before my son was born and do not feel comfortable leaving him to go back)you spend to much time hovering and cuddling him,pu him on his abdomen on a comfortable and safe place all the time, modify the environment with colorful toys that have sound, musics. I was amazed at what different this made in my son's life ,he can now cruise around the table. I will specifically put you in my prayers because i sincerely understand your predicament but please make him spend 30 mins on the floor at lest 6 time a day specifically on his abdomen ,you will be amaze of the different it will make.
