No: As long as your child is otherwise developing normally, this can occur. Your child should be able to pull them self to stand, walk with assistance, and cruise.

Doubt it: I like to see a kid get themself to sitting by 9 m, pull to stand/cruise by a year and walk independently by 15m. If premi, i adjust my expectations accordingly. (1 month premi gets an extra month to do it) Review this with your doc.

Not necessarily: If your child is otherwise well, a follow up appointment for a Denver developmental screening test at your Pediatrician's office is suggested. This may also be possible using the virtual appointment system with Healthtap. He/She will probably walk by the age of 15 months.

Shoes : If you have not tried shoes as of yet try 3/4 height semi rigid sole Sometimes stability allows the infant to walk.
