Bottom-shuffling

My little one doesn't seem to crawl normally like my friends' babies, she shuffles on her bum to get from one place to another, I've been told that that may mean that she'll be a late walker. Does this have any long term impact I should be concerned about??

Relax

My Sophia shuffled on her bottom, and cute she looked too, and walked latter than most, but I am ok with that. Let’s be honest if you look around the mall at adults walking it is not easy to tell which ones learned first! They all learn to walk, when they are ready, not much we can do about it but live and support them.
