Late Walking  (30 Posts) PastaB Sat 09-Feb-13 10:08:06  My 15
month old can't walk. She pulls herself up, scoops down to pick
things up, crawls everywhere and climbs the stairs. She does a
strange monkey crawl on one leg when she wants to move and carry
something.  Until a few weeks ago I took the attitude she will
do it when she is ready but now I've made the mistake of
googling. Google informs me that 90% of children walk by 15

I stop this in favour of more mobile activities?  Should I take
her to the Dr? She goes
