I have to admit we only noticed around DS's 2nd birthday but his legs have a 1.5cm difference in length (as measured at the hospital). He's still very unsure walking (though he started at 14 months) and gets down on all fours to go down steps of only about 5cm.
He's been seen by an orthopaedic consultant at the hospital about 10 weeks ago and they x-rayed to get a baseline picture to compare against in the future but couldn't see any developmental abnormalities.
He has always seemed to tense when I'm changing his nappy and I request "legs apart" to wipe in his groin. He can let his left leg (the shorter one) go sideways to allow this but seems a bit unwilling.
He never complains of pain (at 2 1/2 year now) but he's the wobbliest child of his age I come across at 2 toddler groups and in the nursery he attends 2 mornings a week.
Anyone with any experience of a child with legs of slightly different lengths? Is his wobbliness or his lack of ambulatory confidence down to it? Is there anything I should watch for or do to help him? (He gets plenty of soft play and is by no means a sedentary child).
