Pulls up to standing

Most children: 8m–12m

What it is

Pulls up holding furniture; stands holding on.

Start preparing

1. Put favourite toys on a low, stable table or sofa cushion.
2. Kneeling play at a low table builds the muscles for standing.
3. Lower the crib mattress now — pulling up in the crib comes without warning.
