1 year old baby still not walking

Hi Mummies, My boy is turning 1 year old tomorrow but he is still not walking on his own. He stands up and walks with support but not on his own. Shall I be worried ? Please help me mummies 🙏 #adviceplease

heyyy don't pressure yourself okay! my baby started her independant walk days before she turned one which is....few days ago... but she would only take a few steps. she's able to stand up herself and cruise against furniture or even when we hold both hands. tried giving two things to make her walk - she threw one toy and proceeded to sit or crawl. i was abit stressed and pressured bc of how people ard me kept telling her to walk until two nights ago i googled on this topic. in conclusion, i realised or rather i am convinced that she just needed more time to gain confidence. with that being said, every baby is different. i then realised she started to squat few days ago and now bouncing up and down while standing. so i tell myself and my husband - we need patience. she'll walk when she's ready. so yes Mama! patience is key! do not pressure or force your boy okay. he will know and will walk soon! i read that most babies on average walks between 15-18 months. i would suggest to encourage on small steps he's taking. soon he would probably practise on taking his few small steps. most importantly, give him time okay!
