Two-year-old baby walks on tiptoes

A two-year-old baby is just beginning to learn to walk like an adult, and he or she is usually wobbly, so he or she needs support from an adult to prevent falling. If a two-year-old baby walks on tiptoe, you should pay attention, as it is not good for the baby to learn to walk, so you should correct it in time. The baby may walk on tiptoe because he is imitating adults, or there may be other reasons. For more details, please see the following.

My baby learned to stand before she learned to walk. Only when she could almost stand did she dare to take the first step in her life. I modified the crib where my baby sleeps so that she can stand just by holding on to her hands, and rely on the strength of her hands to support herself when standing!

Once the baby can stand more steadily, you can lean against the sofa or bed with the baby's hands on it. The height is just right, and the baby can walk diagonally and move forward like a crab.

When the baby has learned to move his steps, he will learn to let go of his hands and stand for one or two seconds relying on the strength of his legs.

Next are some methods to start walking. First, my family uses a walker, which is just the right height, and she can push it by herself. Because the wheels are relatively smooth, she definitely can't keep up at the beginning, so she falls a lot. But fortunately, there are foam mats at home, so let her fall, let her do it by herself. This way she can be more relaxed, and you don't have to bend over to carry her and walk, otherwise she will become dependent and dare not let go of your hand to walk by herself.

I also made a walker myself. It was made by my grandmother. It is pulled backwards. I only used it once because it is easy to fall and scratch the neck in the summer. Fortunately, my baby is strong and he could walk by himself after a few weeks. I didn’t use it much.

There are also walkers sold online, which are also used by parents in the community. I looked at the results of those people's babies using them, and to be honest, I can't recommend them highly. Because they are lifted up, so when viewed from the side, the baby's neck stretches forward like a turtle. Now the child can walk, but I still think the neck is leaning forward a little.

7/7

Finally, there is the method taught by the grandma in the community. I think it’s okay. It is to use adult clothes or scarf to pass through the baby’s chest and tie a knot to carry it. The baby can also relax and walk forward by himself without relying on adults!

Precautions

Use less walkers in the summer as babies may feel uncomfortable and easily get scratched.

Only by learning to let go at the right time can your baby be more courageous to walk on his own.
