My daughter didn't walk or move until she was 19 months, she then bum shuffled until she was 28 months when she started to walk very suddenly. She has been diagnosed with global developmental delay and delayed myelination. it felt like she was never going to walk but she just got up one day and did so it will happen. I have found physiotherapy, portage and speech and laguage very helpful if you can access them? x
