prob being totally neurotic but my 14 and half mo old ds has an odd way of using his right leg when he is trying to walk, kind of not bending at the knee and out to the side(a bit like a wooden leg!) other leg looks fine. he isnt walking independently yet at all, but cruising well and happy to hold on to our hands and toddle about. is he still learning about what to do with his legs? or something to get looked at? Totally fine bar a lot of viruses recently which have knocked him sideways and i think stopped him wanting to try.

It sounds a bit like how my dd2 used to walk, does he kind of drag his leg?

She has mild case of flatfoot that the docs assure me will she will correct herself. She walks much better now she is older

Get him checked out, but don't panick, it's probably either nothing or something really simple.
