She walks like she just got off a horse

[courts&munchkins]

Dd has been walking for about a month now and it just doesn't look quite right. She walks with a really quite wide gait. It looks like she's been on a horse for about 4 days straight. I know the boys walked a bit like that when they first started but I don't remember it being quite so severe. Should I be concerned about it??

I think that at this age weird walks are the norm.
Maybe you could have a word with the MCN or Dr next time you see them if you're still concerned but I don't think you need to go out of your way to set up an appointment about it.

Lol you described it so well. Sounds normal to me

Goodness knows what tests and hoops they want you to jump thru of you mention it to the health nurse.

I say see if she gets better on her own. Walking for a month is not very long to Perfect the art

Hun, if you think there is a problem trust your instincts and get her checked by the CHN.
FWIW, my eldest son had very bowed legs that were very noticeable at 12 months. He was checked over and everything seemed fine with the paed so we kept an eye on it and by around 2.5-3 his legs were dead straight.

DD1 was similar, I was told by GP that's it's very normal!!

my good friends dd did this for the first 6-12 months. friend was really concerned and spoke to her mchn who told her its normal. her dd is 3.5 now and walks perfectly normal. if you're concerned speak to your gp or mchn, but I'm sure she'll be fine.
