Hi
DS is nearly 22 months and not yet walking, he can stand but doesn't have much balance and usually falls over. He also doesn't try very often to. He cruises fine and all other areas of his development are fine, he speaks very well.
We have bought some kickers boots for him as I read online that they are good for ankle support and whilst these have helped a little bit, not much. He's been seen at the child development clinic by a paediatrician who wasn't very worried other than suggesting the shape of one of his feet (something I noticed months ago)
They have referred him to the hospital now to see a specialist but told me they will not usually intervene until they are 2.
I have seen posts and friends of friends whose children have needed piedro boots/casting to straighten the feet etc and they have intervened much earlier. Does anyone have any experience of this and whether I should push or go private?
