I had originally posted this on the milestones board but memebers of this board seem to be more active. I have seen a lot of good advice posted here

My daughter is 13 months old. She is a happy healthy child. I' m just a little concerned that there has been no progress in her milestones in the last 4 months.
She had started walking with support when she was 9 months old. She occasionaly stands without support now, but she has no interest in trying to walk without support. if we hold her hand & try to make her walk she just sits down. If she really wants something like a toy she crawls towards it at full speed but dosent try to walk

She had started saying amma occasionaly a few months back and it' s still the same. She dosent say any other words. She dosent even repeat amma when we ask her to. But her sign language has made a lot of progress :) she' ll point at things and make noises to get our attention, she genrally manages to make us dance to her tunes.

The last thing is that at 13 months she still has no teeth. Her doc dosent seem to be concerned abt this.. so even I' m trying not to worry abt it.

My main concern is that she dosent walk... I have noticed that kids her age walk quite comfortably. Since she was walking with support at 9 months I dont know y she is not walking without support even now at 13 months

\" ALBERT EINSTEIN COULD NOT SPEAK TILL HE WAS AGE 3.5 YEARS...BUT HE IS A GENIUS\" DONT you worry...just be calm..ioif your are tensed..your baby could recognise it and it will have bad effect on her.... deepa replied. hi prao

don' t worry, my elder daughter started walking at 13 months, every baby is unique in its own way, she will start walking quickly, you should encourage her holding her both hands and i think u can also use walker for her. try to give her calcium tablets, there are for the kids named sandoz, docs say babies get their teeth upto the age of 2 so dont worry, and 13 months is bit early for talking, i am sure she will accomplish all the milestones if she is healthy otherwise and had no health problem.
