18 months old walking "tip toed" advice needed..

Ds is approx 18 months old and recently on occassions I have noticed him walking on his "tip toes". Not every step and alternates between feet.
I mentioned it to dh last week who suggested maybe it was just because of him "learning to walk and toddling" iykiwm.

Well today mum noticed it..and I have never mentioned it to her.
Mum suggested his feet need measuring/checking but he only got them measured and new shoes last week and tbh I think this has been happening since before then...

I have got the hv due to see him thursday BUT I will take him anyway to the gp's tomorrow and get him referred (ds had genetic disorder at birth so dh & i are very cautious over him iykwim.)

I have not been "googling" and have scared myself silly..please can anyone reassure me...suggestions of being unstead on his feet have come up and I think he is unsteady at times and again mum commented today BUT am I just reading to much into it or is he just a typical "toddler"...

Im scared....I can't go through what we went through 18 months ago again...

thanks for the comments again .

Yeah, good moto chelseamorning... Dh & I are so OTT when it comes to dd and ds..honestly we drive ourselves mad...Luckily it not always us "both" going mad iykiwm..We take it in turns .!
No one tells you this when you decide to have baby..that from the moment you are pregnant you will panic about EVERYTHING...I mc x2 prior to eventually having dd and tbh I think that maybe add's to our concerns iykiwm...

Thanks again everyone. x
