How long between crawling and walking?
I was wondering how long your LO's crawled before walking?
My LO has been crawling for nearly 2 months and I am happy for him to be crawling but wonder if I should be encouraging walking at all?
Do they just step away from and object and take a few steps? what are the signs etc?
He can 'walk' as in knows the action, will walk on his vtech walker and around the furniture.
Thanks

Come on babies!! xx
Once Toby mastered crawling, he then started pulling himself up on things (mainly the furniture!). Once he mastered that, he started cruising and also walking on his own using his push-a-long walker. After he totally mastered cruising, we started walking with him holding our hands, he then did this holding just 1 hand. When he got there, we'd stand him inbetween us and let him walk between us (very short distance) until he was confident enough to let go of our fingers (ok we made him let go!!! ) and walk a couple of steps on his own. Its just grown from there!
To answer your question... he was crawling at 8 months and walking at just over 1yr.
Good luck! Its SO much fun now he's walking!!!!!!!!!!

He now walks holding on to one or two of our hands and cruises happily but shows no interest in walking independently (we have tried MummyJoo's method of making him let go and he just stands there, quite stable, but not walking at all :lol. He is sixteen months on Thursday and I have given up expecting him to walk independently any time soon (no matter how often my mother-in-law asks!
Depends on the baby I think. Oscar just wants to chase his big brother!
