When will my baby walk?

My son iss 11 months old, and has been cruising around furniture since he was 7 months. he is now standing perfectly on his own (started a couple of days ago). im just wondering when he’ll start to walk. I know one year plus is norm, but then other people say when they start cruising they should walk soon after, and he’s been cruising for 5 months already. am I not stimulating him enough?

I guess I should stop worrying and let nature take its course, just need some re-assurement.

Thanks mommys :)

Any day now - standing, just place something he really wants just out of reach - he’ll go get it !! - I wish you the best and take TONS of pictures, they grow sooo fast !!

Hey don’t worry Some kids don’t start walking till there like a year or so, Some kids walk really early like me lol But I wouldn’t worry about it because the little girl I watch she just started to walk and she’s a year so relax and take things easy lol gd Luck

Oh my, I remember telling everyone ‘ I can’t wait until my baby starts walking’ and now I just wish he would sit with me for 5 min LOL You just wait if he is standing on his own, the next thing you know he is literally going to just take off. My son started like right when he turned 1 :) This is a picture of his when he first started walking

dont worry! I am a mom of four and they all walked eventually! I promise your little one will walk before he graduates high school! lol…its normal for you to sweat the small stuff…but try not to compare your baby with anyone elses! my 1st walked at 10 months, my second at 15 months, my third the day after she turned 9 months, and my 11 month old baby is still not walking yet! and yes, she has been cruising for months also! it will happen, I promise!

Your son will be able to walk independently soon, he is already showing signs that he is getting there. Just be patient. Every baby is different, so you really have to wait for the right time. I was also too eager before to know when my son will walk, but one day it just happen. And next few days, you will be the one chasing him. - http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/child-rearing-and-development/walking/when-babies-usually-walk
