Should I be worried about DD's walk?

My DD is 18mo, started walking just after her 1st birthday. I've noticed in the last few days that she has started to walk on her tip toes but only with her left leg. She does start by putting full foot on the floor but then goes onto tiptoes. I'm not sure if this is something I should be keeping an eye on or if it's just a new habit where she's realised she can walk on tiptoes.

Hi OP, I would mention it to your HV - apparently up to the ages of 18 months it can help with their balance but toe walking after the age of 3, referred to as Idiopathic Toe Walking, may not be normal and should be looked into.
