Patient's question:
When the baby is less than 12 months old, it starts to walk. Now it walks very steadily, but I've noticed that the little one always walks differently from other babies. She always walks with a jerky, bouncy gait. I want to ask, why is this? Does it need treatment? And what are the potential consequences?Doctor's answer:
Hello, don't worry, this is related to your child's brain balance function not being fully developed yet. When babies just start learning to walk, their lower limbs bear weight, which can result in physiological curvature or normal postural changes, such as inward or outward-pointing feet. After 3-4 years old, these can naturally correct themselves. Currently, you can appropriately supplement with calcium and get more sun exposure. As they grow older, it will improve. Wishing your child healthy growth.
