Should he be wearing shoes yet?
My Lo is 14 months but not yet walking unaided. He cruises round the furniture & can walk whilst holding on to his push along. He doesn't have any proper shoes yet & he tends to walk about in barefeet. my MIL thinks the reason hes not walking on his own, is coz he's got no proper shoes. Is this right? i thought you shouldn't get shoes til they are properly walking. What do you think?

I didnt get my 2 shoes until they were walking properly, i thought it was a bit of a waste of money to be honest! When i did get them shoes though i took them to a shoe shop to be measured properly.
I dont think the fact your LO has no shoes will be stopping him walking properly, all kids develop at different rates. My daughter was walking unaided at 11 months where as my son didnt start toddling about by himself until he was around 15 months.

my son didnt start walking til nearly 16 months. he did have shoes, you can buy them in clarks for babys that cruise but to be honest he never wore them much, its better for there feet not to be restricted. we you do get some it is important that they are measured properly. my son was just so fast at crawling he didnt see the point of walking then one day just walked across the room and has ben on his feet ever since!
