Sissy, My son is 15 months old. He is walking holding our fingers. He has never stood independently and if you try to let go of his finger he immediately drops to the ground.

My daughter, who is now three, did not crawl until she was 13 months old and did not walk independently until she was 19 months.

Most pediatricians (from my experience and friends) have zero concern until the child is outside of the range, which is 18 months. Then they might do testing or just in office muscular evaluation, which was the case with my daughter; we knew why she did not walk. My current pediatrician said she would have us contact ECI if my son was not walking by 15 months. We have not been, as he recently turned the age, and he has progressed quite a bit since that last visit with her.

It is easier said than done; if you are concerned ask your pediatrician because ECI is extremely valuable. But if you are just worried because other babes his age are doing it, try not to worry. How old is your son? (I see when he was placed but not sure of his age.)
