Hi, I wondered if anyone is going through something similar. Feel quite alone is this process and haven't met any other parents who have gone through the same experience.
So my dd is 14 months old and still not walking unassisted. She can pull herself up, crawl and stand briefly before she falls on her bottom but just won't walk. My first child walked at 10 months but i know each child is different so don't want to keep comparing.
I know there are late walkers and usually no cause for concern but given that she was born with a tethered cord (which should have been resolved when she had the surgery to untether at 7 months old), I wonder if it has anything to do with that? When I do walk with her I notice her left foot points inwards (I don't remember that in my older child- is that normal sometimes?)
I'm worried now as time goes on that her cord may have retethered or that she would have already had damage nerves from before surgery (I hope not as I've read children can have incontinence and be wheelchair bound from tethered cords). Trying to stay positive but feeling so alone and worried sick for my poor little girl.
We would love to have another child but now anxious about having to go through it again with next child- has anyone had subsequent children with tethered cord? Did you take High strength folic acid or the activated form (5 methyl tetrahydrafolate)?
Hope someone out there can give me some advice and reassurance x
