A member asked:

Maybe: Normal independent walking is expected by 15-16 months in a baby born on time.If it was born early, you add the amount of weeks to this point (35 wk premi gets 5 extra wks). Cruising. or walking holding on is an earlier stage and most get there by 9-12 m. This baby may be delayed.
