The nurse will explore the parent's concern that the child
is not walking at age 19 months. Weaning from the bottle
is suggested between 12-15 months of age. Watching 6
hours of television a day takes away from active, physical
play or any 1:1 parental interaction with the child. The
child not walking alone by 18 months of age is a sign of
developmental delay or due to a physical problem.
Normal findings include eating with the fingers and using
a bouncy walker until the age of 12 months. It is expected
the child can pull up, before taking walking steps. It is okay
for an outside person to babysit since the parent is
working remotely and the other parent works outside the
home during the day.

a possible delay:

b. Able to pull up
c. Eats with fingers

, Page 4 of 102
cup typically starts at age 12 months. Not walking alone
and drinking only from a bottle indicates a developmental
delay for a 19-month-old child. Pulling up to standing and
eating with the fingers are developmental milestones
which are achieved at an earlier age. It would be expected
that this child could perform those activities.
