A one-year-old and three-month-old baby still cannot walk.

Patient's question:

The baby still can't walk, and every time they try to learn, it seems like their left leg keeps turning inward. Could it be caused by rickets due to calcium deficiency? We haven't been in the sun all winter. Is it because we don't get enough sunlight?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the child's condition, there are two possibilities: one is to consider the possibility of calcium deficiency, and the other is to consider potential brain issues.
Guidelines:
It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up, preferably at a major hospital. This could be due to developmental issues with the nervous system, so MRI or CT scans may be necessary. Additionally, it's important to check for calcium deficiency. If the child is deficient in calcium, it's crucial to supplement with vitamin D. If there are nervous system issues, rehabilitation treatment should be considered.
