Re: The walking blues!!! :-(

[Guest guest]

Hi,

You already had lots of replies but I thought one more

can't hurt...

Both my twins (one with clubfoot, one without) didn't

start walking until they were 17 months old (they were

7 weeks premature by the way), and that even though I

myself apparently walked at 10 months and I was told

early walking runs in the familiy, obviously not

always...

Anyway, I read that the average is 15 months, so for

every baby that can walk at 10 months, there must be

one that doesn't do it until he's 20 months, right?

As they say, we can't all be above average!

And the funny foot position when walking sounds normal

to me too, both my twins had some very funny walks

when they first started, I guess they need to learn

where exactly to put the feet too...

All the best,

with (3y)
