Q. My son is 8 monts 12 days old, he has started crowling, he sits on himself without support, by taking support he try to stand. But I feel he is dooing toe walking. while standing also he do not touch his full feet to floor. Also if we try to make him stand and try to touch his full feet to ground he tries to resist and makes crying face. Is this a concern? or by 11 to 12 monts he will start touching his full feet to ground..
