Cruising to Walking

[NewMummyx]

LO has been pulling himself up onto his knees using the furniture for the last few days, not managed to get onto his feet yet but it has only been 3 days!
A few questions to those with cruisers/walkers if you have a minute

How long did it take for your LO to go from his knees right onto his feet?
Did you let them fall striaght away? I have a mild panic attack every time LO stumbles a bit and always grab him should I be doing this or letting him learn about gravity on his own?
How long did your LO take to go from cruising to their first steps?

Its all going so fast!

Maria went straight to her feet rather than knees first but didn't start cruising for a month after that, then was almost 2 months before her first steps.
I let her fall straight away (unless she was going to hit her head on something) and she very quickly learned to get down without falling.

My LO is not walking yet, but cruising very quickly! my LO also went straight to standing rather than his knees. I allowed him to fall (within reason) and he learnt quickly how to get down.

He's been crusing for 3 months now and still not walking.

He is starting to stand unaided though xxx

My LO pulled to knees first then feet, it was within days though! Then he started cruising within Days. He's been pulling up and cruising around a month now. When he first got to his feet he would just fall back, I let him fall within reason, he soon learnt to fall to his bum then how to get down without falling at all. No standing unaided or walking here, I think it will be a fair few months yet xx

My oldest went straight to her feet when she learned to pull herself up. She started cruising a few days later. She was 7 months old. She started walking un aided at 10 months old.

We just let her fall right from the get go unless she was going to hurt herself.

Corrine went straight to her feet also and is cruising now. Like Nat, I let her fall and now she will fall back on purpose on her butt.

My lo went straight to her feet.. and two days later was cruising. This was around 7 months and she just took her first steps yesterday at 10 1/2 months.

I also let her fall. And if she falls and cries, unless I can hear she's banged pretty hard and she's crying with tears and all, I just sit by her and tell her, "it's ok, just try again!" and usually she'll just get back up and do it again.

Hollie was cruizing for months, we let her stumble and said uh-oh and giggle so she didnt cry, and if she did cry we would go over give her a cuddle and she would be off again, over the last few days she started walking and she stumbles aloth but she just gets up and carrys on.

Chloe started cruising at 7 months. It was about 2 weeks after she started crawling. Still cruising.. now. She'll be 9 months old in three days.

 

[SazzleR]

Straight to feet here as well, just after he started crawling. He didn't take him long to suss out cruising! A month on, he'll now stand for a few seconds unsupported but that's it so far.

 

[Leinzlove]

Same here! Didn't seem real for that to start happening so fast! I thought she'd just be crawling for awhile.

LO went straight to pull up to standing at around 10 months. He started cruising a couple of weeks later. He has been standing unaided since about 11 monthsbut has only just started walking now at almost 14 months! He's a talker rather than a walker, like Mummy!

Yes, it seems like they work on one, then the other. Chloe babbles and you can make out different sounds. Working on ah ma ma... but she says um.
