Pulling up

At what age did your little ones start pulling up? DS started at 8 months, and DD still isn't showing any interest in it. She's kneeling all the time, but isn't trying to get on her feet at all... When I make her stand up, she tiptoes still, and doesn't put her feet flat.

Should I worry?

I don't think so. My DD started pulling up at 8 months and DS did not start until 11 months. If you are concerned, I would definitely mention it to your pediatrician.

 

I think mine started around 10 or 11 months.

 

One at 7 months and the other at 8 months. i don't think you need to worry. She will do it on her own time

 

Neither of my boys are pulling up yet. They are 8 months.

 

Mine aren't pulling up yet either, and they are 9.5 months. In fact, my DS hasn't figured out how to crawl yet. I'm not concerned. They will get there!

 

I wouldn't worry - she'll get to it. One of my guys was pulling up at 6 months. The other at 7. Despite starting to pull up at relatively the same time one is now very steady on his feet, rarely holds on to anything, and has already taken a few steps - he could probably walk if he would try walking in stead of running first. The other won't stand up when we hold him up and is still heavily dependant on whatever he pulled up to keep him balanced and on his feet. He probably won't be ready to walk for several more months. They are just different babies with different motivations and interests.

It never hurts to mention it to your pedi though if you are concerned.

 

My DS crawled at 7 months and was pulling up by 9. His sister on the other hand (dd) finally started crawling at Thanksgiving 9 months, and on Christmas eve she started pulling up 10 months. So she went from she can sit, to she can crawl and stand all within about 3 weeks. Dont worry it will happen!!
