Why does my baby only walk on her toes never flat on her feet. She runs and walks all over like that is it ok

She has always done this since day one. If I put shoes on her she will not wear them as she cannot stand on her toes with shoes on. Do you think this is normal. Am I worrying for nothing? Please help!!

You might want to ask your baby's Doctor about this just in case there may be a problem.





The Achilles tendon is fibrous tissue that connects the heel to the muscles of the lower leg: the calf muscles. Leg muscles are the most powerful muscle group in the body and the Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in the body. Contracting the calf muscles pulls the Achilles tendon, which pushes the foot downward. This contraction enables: standing on the toes, walking, running, and jumping. Each Achilles tendon is subject to a person’s entire body weight with each step. Depending upon speed, stride, terrain and additional weight being carried or pushed, each Achilles tendon may be subject to up to 3-12 times a person’s body weight during a sprint or push off.





Good luck,

Reply:From 1 to 2 years of age, it’s common for toddlers to walk on their toes, but most children outgrow it by the time they’re 3. Your daughter continued walking on her toes could be a normal part of her learning to walk, or it could be a sign of another developmental, neurological, muscular or orthopedic condition.





It’s helpful to know more about your aughter s overall development. Were there any complications during the pregnancy or delivery? Was she born prematurely? How has the rest of her development been so far: her hand coordination, speech, social interactions, etc.? Other than the walking on hertoes, is her development typical of an almost 3-year-old: for example, does she feed and dress herself, talk and play with other children and adults, speak in three-word sentences, answer simple questions, and follow simple directions? Does she have any other behaviors that you’re concerned about?





It’s best to make sure your son gets a thorough assessment by the pediatrician. The doctor should do a full developmental and neurological assessment, and also pay special attention to your daughter feet, ankles, legs and hips, and the way she stands and walks. Ask the doctor whether it might be helpful to request an additional assessment by a developmental or orthopedic specialist and the local school district. These assessments will determine whether developmental services, physical therapy, or other services might be helpful for your daughte.
Reply:A lot of babies do that, actually. If she is younger than 1.5-2 years, it's ok. If she continues after that, then it could be a problem.
Reply:You don't have to worry if she's a baby, but as she gets older, keep an eye on it. My daughter is 15 and has already shortened the ligament in her ankle. She doesn't need a surgery or anything, but it is already shortened.





Later if it continues, keep shoes on her as much as possible is one thing you can do at home. The shoes force them to put their ankle down. That's what I wish I had done.





No need to worry now though, just bring it up to your pediatrician at every check up. They will tell you when to "worry" and what you can do about it.
Reply:do you put her in a johnny jumper or a walker often? that may sometimes cause babies to walk on their toes until their feet stretch out. the walkers and jumpers shorten the muscles in their feet b/c they are always sitting with their toes touching. my baby did this and as soon as I stopped putting him in his jumper he started walking more normal. it took about a month for him to completely walk on his feet though. if that isn't the case, maybe she is just more comfortable like that. as long as it isn't painful for her, I wouldn't worry.
Reply:my youngest did the same thing, ran around on her little tippy toes forever. I think it was because her body was to tiny and her head was so big. She kind looked like a cabbage patch kid.





Doctor said to tell if she was having trouble was to compare the folds in the fat on her legs. If they line up, it's a good sign, if they don't, then they may want to monitor her condition a while.





She turned out just fine, very petite. I wouldn't worry too much, but ask your dr. on the next well baby visit if you are concerned.
Reply:Check out with a doctor.. It may be equanus deformity.
