A. It’s not uncommon for toddlers to experiment with different walking styles, including walking on their tiptoes. However, if your one-year-six-month-old baby is suddenly walking on one leg and seems to be doing so consistently over several days, it could indicate a few possible reasons: 1. Muscle Strength or Balance Issues: Sometimes, babies may develop an imbalance in their muscle strength or coordination, which can lead them to favor one leg or walk on their tiptoes. 2. Injury or Discomfort: It’s possible that your child may be experiencing discomfort in one leg, such as from a mild injury, which might make them prefer walking on their toes or avoiding putting weight on the leg. 3. Neurological or Developmental Concerns: Although less likely at this age, toe-walking can sometimes be a sign of developmental or neurological issues if it continues for a prolonged period. If the behavior is persistent or accompanied by other signs of discomfort (such as crying or limping) or if it continues beyond a few days, it would be best to consult with a pediatrician. They can evaluate your child’s posture, muscle strength, and overall development to rule out any underlying concerns.
