DD is 2 years and 3 months. She didn't take her first steps until she was 20/21 months and has slowly progressed since then. She can walk now but it isn't confident. She cannot walk very far and falls over a lot. Her walking is quite immature for her age and she walks with a wide gait. I am rubbish at explaining it. But she walks like she really struggles to do so... like it doesn't come naturally to her.
She has seen a paeditrician, he strugged me off saying that she will catch up. They are seeing her again in January but I'm reluctant to put her into pre-school because of it - I am worried she won't manage.
Anyway, friends children are younger and walked earlier and didn't take long to progress into confident walkers.
Could it by hypermobility? Sometimes it seems her left ankle faces outwards when she walks.
