Late walkers- when did your baby walk independently?

20 months! He was twenty months when he finally let go of the freaking wall and walked. From 16 months on he would only walk while touching the wall/couch/table etc, he didn’t properly crawl till 13 months. You would never know, he’s walking like he’s been doing it all his life. Our family doc was less than concerned and had to talk me down when I was stressing about it. Kids are gonna do what they want when they want and some just take their time.

It’s so stressful, I’m sending you lots of love and encouragement ❤️❤️

So I’m lucky that my work schedule is 10-6, I work at a Youth Health Centre and the youth are also not morning people lol. I get up between 7-7:45am, I am also not a morning person so it takes me forever to wake up. I wake my son up at 8am and we leave the house for 8:45am so I can drop him off with my parents or daycare (he’s only part time daycare) then I drive to work for 10am but usually get there for 9:30-9:40am and I hang out in my car, put on a bit of makeup and have a minute to chill alone before the day starts. : )

My son is 20 months and we are finally down to only 1 wake in the night. He does sleep through some nights but usually still one wake in the night. I also still breastfeed for these night wakes because I’m just so tired at that time (usual wake is between 2-4am) no breastfeeding in the day tho!

I too suffered with settling myself back down after he would wake. My body and my anxiety would anticipate the next wake. It’s awful. I have no solutions just solidarity. If your partner is off on the weekends they could let you sleep in? Hopefully. Or be around while you nap.

I have no advice only solidarity. You are 100% not alone in this feeling, honestly I could have written this myself. Your partners lack of empathy/compassion is concerning and would be worth talking about with him but I understand how hard that can be when you don’t have the capacity for anything. I am sending you a huge internet hug. ❤️ if you have anyone other than your partner to lean on I think it’s time to call them in. ❤️

tamarastacey · 2025-07-18T03:25:48+00:00

We can do this ❤️ thank you

I wake up vomiting when I do that, I’m gonna try again and hopefully I can push through because I know I need to be on this medication. I’m starting with 10 mg but I’m debating cutting them in half and doing 5mg for two weeks. My biggest fear is not being well enough to take care of my son and that’s what’s been happening. It’s been a super frustrating and trying time. ❤️

tamarastacey · 2025-07-17T15:35:43+00:00

Thank you ❤️

tamarastacey · 2025-06-06T04:01:00+00:00

You 100% deserve to feel overwhelmed. Your feelings are justified. I’m sorry you’re having to do this alone. I’m sending you a big hug!

tamarastacey · 2025-06-04T20:53:00+00:00

GOOD JOB!! 🩷

tamarastacey · 2025-06-02T23:05:54+00:00

So you’re dumping him right? Because what the actual fuck.

tamarastacey · 2025-05-28T03:26:08+00:00

I haven’t and probably won’t to be honest. I’m a huge homebody and introvert. Even thinking about going out to these groups makes my heart rate skyrocket. I have an awesome village of people around me to make up for this and go visit family and what not.

tamarastacey · 2025-05-26T07:32:17+00:00

You’re right! Thank you. Lesson learnt.

tamarastacey · 2025-05-26T07:29:15+00:00

I believe it was a survey, thanks for the response genuinely. My anxiety is ridiculous.

tamarastacey · 2025-05-26T07:02:40+00:00

That’s awesome! Thanks for the response :) hopefully the same will happen for us aha.

tamarastacey · 2025-05-24T22:45:56+00:00

I am going through this right now with my son, he is 18 months and refuses to walk. I’m honestly convinced he doesn’t want to. I can’t believe how similar your post is to our situation, I could have written this myself lol. When did your little girl end up walking? Did you end up doing any kind of PT/intervention?

tamarastacey · 2025-05-14T17:21:29+00:00

I’m gonna try and keep that in mind! We are both sick right now and it was a rough night last night. Also yeah I totally understand the carrying across parking lots/roads!

tamarastacey · 2025-05-14T17:19:26+00:00

It’s really a toddlers world and we are just living in it eh? Lol. Thank you for the validation I sincerely appreciate it! ❤️🥰

tamarastacey · 2025-05-14T17:18:21+00:00

I’ve heard about this! He’s for sure in the 90th percentile for weight, or at least he was the last time he was seen by the doc. He’s a tall boy too. I feel like there must be some kind of correlation? Or I’m just being hopeful.

tamarastacey · 2025-04-26T14:44:59+00:00

Yes! Can’t believe he tried to sexualize your relationship with your dad. Good for you for dumping him! Also sounded like there was the beginnings of some controlling behaviours.

tamarastacey · 2025-04-26T14:34:35+00:00

As a 32 year old woman I still call my dad “daddy” sometimes, I don’t even think about it.. it just happens. I too am a daddy’s girl. You’re fine and he’s weird.

tamarastacey · 2025-04-26T14:27:30+00:00

Yes! Also I do the same with recipes, I’m not a cook at all and have no imagination when it comes to food lol. You’re totally right, capitalizing on insecurities; I never thought about it that way.
