How to correct your baby's tiptoeing when learning to walk

We may have all seen children learning to walk. Children often stand on tiptoe when learning to walk. This is a necessary stage for every child to learn to walk. Many mothers think this is an abnormal behavior and are very worried about it. In fact, there is no need to worry. We should learn more about some normal reactions of babies in the process of learning to walk. Let us introduce the situation of babies learning to walk on tiptoe.

Correction method:

1. The baby stands on tiptoes or walks on tiptoes. This is common in normal infants under 6 months old and older children who are just learning to walk. If a baby over 6 months old still stands on tiptoe, or an older child often stands on tiptoe when learning to walk, it should be considered a pathological condition, which is common in children with cerebral palsy. Your baby is over 1 year old and stands steadily, but he walks on tiptoe. I think it is related to the fact that he has just learned to walk. You can help him put his whole foot on the ground when he walks. If the problem cannot be corrected after 1-2 weeks of training, you should see a doctor.

2. If the baby occasionally walks on tiptoe after learning to walk, this is normal. It may be because the baby wants to learn more advanced skills after learning to walk, such as jogging, jumping, etc. There are also very few babies who walk on tiptoe during the toddler stage because they use walkers too early, but this situation will not last too long. The baby will no longer walk on tiptoe about a week after he stops using the walker. Normal babies learn to walk with both feet on the ground steadily. If the baby keeps tiptoeing from learning to stand to learning to walk, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the hospital for a check-up.

3. It is common for children to walk on tiptoes when they are just learning to walk. When children first learn to walk, they don’t know the correct gait. In order to maintain balance and avoid falling, they walk on tiptoe. There are also children who have various gaits, such as turning their feet outward or turning their feet inward, but as the child walks steadily, the tiptoeing gait will be completely changed.

Your child has learned to walk for two months and suddenly walks on tiptoes. First, check whether the soles of the shoes are too soft; second, check whether the inside of the shoes are uneven; third, check whether there are any foreign objects in the shoes; fourth, check whether the child has flat feet. If parents do not know how to check themselves, they can take the baby to a children's hospital for examination to find out the cause and treat it accordingly.

We should understand the correct behavior of children in the process of learning to walk so as not to worry about the babies. We also hope that everyone can effectively and correctly help our children learn to walk faster and better. I hope the above content will be of some help to everyone in helping their children walk.
