As a mother of 4 children, I can say that every child is different. They will walk on their own time. My first born was about 14 months olds, my twins were 11 months. I have a cousin who's daughter was 16 months old. It may be frustrating now, but it really doesn't matter how early your child walks. Once he/she starts kindergarten nobody will care when your child first walked. I think as parents we stress about things like this, or potty training, or talking etc....

Every child is unique and we should not expect the same results for each one of them. If you are really concerned about it, check with the pediatrician.
