Mom of a 2 yr 8 m old boy1 Year ago

Q.

My baby is walking on his toes since a few days, when he learnt walking he would walk normally, but now he walks like this often or with one foot normal and other foot on toes, it looks like he is limping.. Is it normal behaviour ?

A. toe walking is many times seen in children after completion of 1 year of age. sometimes it is intermittent as well as sometimes it is continuous. usually this habit goes away with increasing age of the child usually by x2 years of age. it is advisable that in between whenever you meet your pediatrician you can discuss this problem as well as take a video when the child is toe walking and share it with your pediatrician who will tell you if any intervention is required or not.

A. It is completely normal all the kids do it at one point of time when they learn to start walking now to break this pattern of your child always make sure that your child is wearing sandal or shoes with a little hard throughout the day so that your child would be bound to keep the feet straight all the time
