Hi
I know your Evie is slightly older than Charlotte (she's 13 months) and I know Evie is walking.
Charlotte will stand by herself by pulling herself up on furniture but wont cruise or try and walk. I've got a push along which I try to stand her up against which she will do sometimes or otherwise she plops down and then refuses to stand again (stubborn)!
How did you get Evie to walk or did you just leave her to it. Everyone (inc hv) keeps saying she'll do it when she's ready and that I should just leave her to it. I thought she would want to walk a bit now as she's been standing for a few weeks.
What do you suggest (+ anyone else that reads feel free to add suggestions)!!
Thanks xx

You've got the right idea by getting her the push along toy as if you perhaps keep standing her up against it if she can hold on for a while she will strengnthen her legs gradually, same goes for the setee/table, anything you could stand her next to so she can hold on. I think it's more about building her up to walking and helping her, as your right, she will do it in her own good time. Perhaps when she's standing against the setee for example, put one of her toys just a step or two out of reach on the setee next to her, it may encourage her to shuffle a bit or take a step to reach it?
To be honest i long for the days before evie could walk as it's SO tiring!! lol.

I think Charlotte does like to take her time with things. She commando crawled at 8 months then didn't crawl on all 4 until 11 months! I think i'll do as you suggest and then let nature take it's course. She's a very strong willed young lady and doesn't like to be pushed too much! plus I don't want to put her off.
