Is my nephew okay?

Question

So my nephew is about to be 14 months old and he has yet to take his first steps. He just learned to crawl after his first birthday and he's still not got it down too well. His mother doesn't really pay much attention to him so he doesn't get much stimulation. Should I be worried or is he right on track?

Answer

My 15 month old crawls. He can pull himself up to stand but can't walk. He also was a preemie so he is a few months behind though. His dr said not to worry and not all kids walk at 12 months. I wouldn't be too concerned at this point.

Answer

Doctors are not worried about walking untill 18 month.
My oldest daughter never crawled and didn't walk until 18 month (maybe even a couple months past). I lived with my mom so my daughter was being held most of the day by me, my sister and my mom. She turned out fine. 
I usually see the opposite, when children are getting "to much attention" (no such thing) there motor skills are delayed because they are getting there needs met with out having to do anything but when children are not getting any attention there motor skills are more advanced because they have to do it by them selves and cant rely on anyone.
Not saying this is the case because every child is different. If your nephew isn't getting attention you could try and talk to mom of LO or just give him all your affection and love as much as possible!
There really isnt anything else you can do unless his basic needs are not being met <- that would be a CPS call.
