My son bum scooted and did not bear weight at 12 months. He was also low weight and was considered failure to thrive (a term I dislike). What has their pediatrician or doctor said? We were sent to CHEO for evaluations. Luckily, no problems could be pinpointed, and my son just up and started walking at 18 months. His gross motor quickly caught up and there is no stopping him now.
We did a lot of exercising in jumperoos and exersaucers to help develop his muscles and motivate him to use those legs.
