Great article! Milestones used to drive me insane as my two were either well behind or in front. For the late walking my grandmother advised me to get a men’s size hankie and a great pair of soft leather shoes and go for a walk.
I heard of a great old wifes trick to use that my grandmother spoke about – the hanker chief trick – get bub to hold onto one corner and you the other and always leave a bit of slack in the middle. Walk along with them for a bit until they are comfortable and then gently let go of the hankie so they don’t realise you have go and help build up their confidence

Love this idea!Though if you don’t have a hanky a cotton scarf works too! Saves the adult from that bent-over stoop we do when walking with little ones!
