Hi there,
Just wondering what age babies start walking my daughter is nearly 9months and already walking i was shocked when she started walking cause she took a while to crawl starting at 7 months and now not even 2 months later shes walking.Its looks funny seeing a tiny bub walking around.

I (apparently) started walking at 7 months...my Granddad used to sling me up with a towel under my arms and walk me around like a puppet!

Nathan crawled at 7 months and walked at 10 months. PJ crawled at 6.5 months and he's trying very hard to start walk and he's 9.5 months now.

My DD1 started cruising around the furniture at 7 1/2 months and walked at 9 months and 3 days. She never crawled, used to roll around or drag herself along with her arms. She was (and still is) a tiny girl and peope used to gape in amazement that someone so small could walk. DD2 is 7 1/2 months now and has just started to pull herself up on the furniture (she likes the coffee table) so she will be walking soon too I guess. She crawled about 3 weeks ago and I thought she would be slower to walk because she was mobile through crawling but it doesn't look like it.

I am the eldest of 5kids. I walked at 9mths and 1week old, 2 of my sisters walked at the same age, my bro walked at exactly 10mths and my other sis walked at 8.5mths. The one who walked at 8.5mths ended up bow-legged coz the bones in her legs were still so soft and the muscles so strong. Mum had to do this massage thing to get them straight again.
I don't know if this would happen to all bubs who walk at that age, but just something to watch for.

Oh, my DS walked one week after his first b'day...later than me, but waaaay earlier than his father who walked at 18mths old
