Are her feet too small?

Really!?!?!?!? Oh PHEWWW.. that makes me feel better!!! (and did you know that I had no idea that our girls were the same age?!?! haha!! How slow am I... ROFL)

Wasn't until I read your sig again that I realised LOL

DD is in size 4 5's are too big for her, we have put her in some but she clomps around in them , she is a shorty pants though, not sure if she has even hit 80cm she was 77cm a couple of months ago, but doesn't look any taller, 12-18 month PP jeans need to be rolled up once or drag ont he ground like a little "homegirl"!!!

My DD is nearly 18 months, also very tall (97th percentile) and only half a shoe size bigger than your DD.

She is a bit clumsy too, but that's because she was born with a torticollis that hasn't been completely resolved so she is having some sessions with a paediatric physio at the moment - we have been given some exercises to do at home to help straighten her out (literally!) and at this age they respond so quickly.

Check out your DD's feet when she's walking around and standing still - see if her feet are straight or turned in. My DD's stood with her feet straight but her toes angled inward, particularly on the left foot and that was the foot she always tripped over with - the same side as her torticollis. She probably has it because she was a big bub (4.27kg) and was running out of room in utero.

If you think there is anything unusual about the positioning of your DD's feet, it might not hurt to just get her assessed by paediatric physio (not a normal physio, one who specialises in kids). I am lucky enough to have a stepmother who is a podiatrist and she steered me in the right direction.

DD1 was born in august 08 aswell she is a size 6 she trips over all the time...i just think its because she is going faster than her feet

Good point curly. Her toes point in a bit on both sides, that could be attributing to the clumsiness (I got the small feet/tall body = clumsy theory from DH of course)

I just measured her (as best I could by myself) and she's approximately 92cm at 20 months, so she is quite tall.

I wish my kids had small feet - Flynn is four in June but is in size 13. I bought him socks the other day - the packet said they were for 5-8 year olds!

Your DD may just grow up to have little feet. A schoolfriend of mine was 5 foot 9 (so not short) and had size 7 feet (which I would consider to be small....)
