My son(4th child) is 18 mos and hes not walking yet. He walks holding hands, or holding sofa but wont walk or stand alone. He needed Physical Therapy to sit, we may need to go back. In the back of my mind all I think about is 1st son who has CP, and didn't walk til 3. I know thats not the case but what is normal age range??

i have a son that is almost 21yrs old and hes a special needs child he has a mind capacity of a 12yr old. he didnt start walking untill he was 19months, but was crawing at 5months..
my daughter was crawing at 7months, and walking at 14months
so that varys on each child.

so it can be from 10months to 19months
but a friend of my daughter her son was walking at 6months... my grandkids were all walking between 11 and 13months.
its possible your son may have cp.

I Have been through CP and I really don't believe he has it. But physical therapist did say he had low tone, hypotonia. 1st son is now 10 and almost died at birth. It is too much for me to even think that my second son could have it, lets hope not.

All babies are different though. I'm glad to hear shes walking now!flowerforyou flowerforyou flowerforyou bigsmile

Thanks so much. I am so relieved now. Now that he can walk he is trying to run and he is crashing everywhere, tripping, clumsy and laughing about it. He falls and gets right back up. Wish I could, (in a different meaning):smile:

I'm glad he's walking.

I've had the range..1 child just turned 9 mos.
2 child just turned 11 mos.
3 child 16 years and still waiting

Haven't given up hope that one day a miracle will come along.
