Burberry 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 Hi All, My 15 mth daughter is walking on her toes ever since she started to learn to walk. It's almost 2 mths that she walks on her toe and I never see her walking with both feet touching the ground unless she is standing. Could that be something to do with her muscle disorder or will she outgrow this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any way to let her put her both feet down when walk? Or should I bring her to the paed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just worried if it's something to do with muscle disorder, I wish to get her treated b4 it is too late. Btw, how long for your gal to walk normal from tip-toe? My little one really walks on her toes ALL the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clovey 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 ya, i know,when i saw my gal walked like that,i oso felt is abnormal.aft she turned 2yo,she seldom walked tipp-top,just sometime only,b4 that,she almost walked on toes,unless she is running or want to walked fast,but sometime she forgot or something actractive her,she wil walked as normal.normaly she walked on toes when she is "alone",with us she wont walk like that,so i was thinking may be she is boring n fine something fun for herself.

But you can try to determine if she is merely doing it for fun or out of habit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
