approaching first birthday, still cant stand

Mom... I'm really worried. My child is almost 1 year old (11 months) and still can't stand up... can sometimes stand with support, but still falls often. Not to mention standing, even when supported, they cry and just want to sit down. It's like they're scared. Why is that, mom... I want to take them to a pediatrician, but last time I went, I was scolded for supposedly not providing enough stimulation and not caring for my child. It's exhausting to be judged constantly. has anyone experienced the same?

My baby started walking at about 11mo and I think putting her in a playpen (1.5x1.8) helped. She would hold on to the hanging support and pulled herself up into standing position, and eventually started cruising. Then soon she understood that the thick mat won’t hurt her that much even when she fell. Don’t feel defeated. Child raising will always seem to be harder to the responsible parents cause we care a lot!
