Assessment: Some families are late to walk but she should be checked to make sure she is otherwise healthy. All the best.

1 is early to walk!: Many babies do not walk until well after their 1st birthday, and even up to 16 months is considered normal. I would not worry yet at all. For now, just encourage her to "cruise", or walk along furniture after she has pulled herself up, and let her feel the pressure of the ground on her feet while holding her under her armpits. Otherwise, just watch and wait another few months!
