if the doctors/health visitors haven't any abnormalities in his joints/bones then he's probably just decided that walking is obviously a mugs game and how much longer will i have to wait for dad to buy me a ****ing mountain bike
My first was a lazy so-and-so but walked just before his first birthday, the second (my daughter) wasn't going to be left out of things and crawled at 6 months and walked at 9 months - nightmare!
I wouldn't worry too much. Our little boy is just coming up to a year and 'only' started to crawl about 3 weeks ago. A month ago we were worried he wasn't crawling now we're wondering how to slow him down! 😆 🙄

LOL
I blame the Tories..
Where did you get that from?!!
From knowing lots of babies both boys and girls - as an average, girls seem to take a bit longer to walk and talk.
No I haven't spent millions on proper scientific research - just observed and listen to childcare experts.

I know lots of babies too and my 'research' contradicts yours. So there.
Proper research show it's the same - neither learn to walk earlier than the other sex.
we have a bum shuffler. but its more yogic flying than shuffling. guarenteed to get a laugh in all public places.
she's 18months and just cruising. she cant crawl and cant really sit up or stand up so she's quite frustrated/grumpy/****ing livid at times.
the eldest was 14months when she disappeared up the sweetie isle in tescos on her own. she didnt bother with crawling or shuffling.
I think 2.5yrs is very late.
Talk to your healthcare advisor if worried?
I'm sure everything is a-OK and everyone's comments on here are the right reassuring type. In the interest of balance - and far from wanting to concern you - not all kids just get up and walk one day. Our first born struggled to sit upright. We thought nothing of it, but the nursery mentioned it. Anyone, cutting a long story - and many consultants and doctors later - short, it transpired he had a rare illness, one symptom being poor muscle tone.
He's 3 1/2 now and although he can walk in a fashion, it is in a falling-over-with-style kind of way. He still cannot stand unaided. The moral? If you are genuinely concerned, get it checked out. If you're not happy with the "it's nothing" response, insist on getting a second opinion. We assumed it was nothing and were wrong.
Trust me when the wee one starts walking that's it, we couldn't undersatand why my eldest son couldn't crawl at 9 months, he just rolled from pot plant to pot plant eating the soil, then he started crawling and 2 weeks later he was walking at 10 months,and just turned 10 he trains twice a week now for his football team, trained with Liverpool and Ireland last summer, played in front of 14,000 at half time at an International, plays GAA for local team, school football, GAA and cross country teams,you see where I'm going, don't worry, they all do it when the time comes, and then all they'll need is detol for the knees and maybe a crash helmet............we only want the best for them after all
