Hello,

There is a large variation of 'normal' for the gross motor milestone of walking. Some children walk at 10 months and others not until 15-16 months. If a child is not walking by 18 months, then we say that child has 'gross motor delay'. Some children have isolated gross motor delay from a variety of causes and for some children, it can be part of more global developmental issue. If you are worried, see your doctor who can refer you to a pediatrician for a review, if need be.
