20 month not standing alone or walking

[Kat19871987]

My little girl of 20 month isn't walking or standing unaided yet.

She never weight bared and just randomly one day stood up and climbed on the same day. That was around 18 months old.

She is under physio and also has duck feet and flat feet.

She has been tested for muscular disease and come back clear. We are just waiting on genetic testing now.

Please tell me I am not the only one going through this.

Little lady has been prescribed piedro boots which we are hoping come in the next week or two.
I just don't imagine her getting any balance anytime soon.

It's good that she is getting physio and being assessed OP. It must be so tough fir you though

@Kat19871987 what is duck feet?
Has the physio checked if she's hyper mobile ? Other names are "double jointed". If she has this then it takes them a while to get up and walking. It's common for toddlers to have looser muscles and ligaments than adults.

@Kat19871987 I was searching for kids not walking by 20 months (mine just turned 20 months today) and your post came up. I am just beside myself with his lack of walking. My daughter was a bum shuffler and didn't walk until 19 months, but then she literally hit the ground running. My son has been pulling himself up since 10 months and climbs, but is always on his tip toes (will only put his right food flat). He "walks" on his knees, and gets around really fast, but really does not walk. He will "walk" holding my hands or his older sisters hands, and he will stand with his back to the sofa or wall, but wont move forward. We have been referred to physio both through the NHS and are going privately as well. The private doctor said he was hyper-mobile, all of the bloodwork came back clear.

Now that it's been a few months has she improved? It breaks my heart and I am sick of people making what they think are helpful comments "What an unusal way of walking!" or "How funny, he gets around so fast" I actually told someone it was super rude to ever mention a child's mobility and that shut them up but I really just want him to walk!!!
