My 16 month old daughter cannot weight bear

[Natalie]

Hi,

My 16 month old daughter cannot weight bear. She gets around by shuffling on her bottom. This was picked up at her 10 month check but because of problems with our local physios she was only seen for the first time last week. From one appointment where the physio couldn't really get a good look at my daughter (babys fault not physio's) it has been decided that she needs special shoes fitted, leg braces and a standing frame. Whilst waiting for our physio appointment we saw a paediatrician who requested a hip xray which has come back fine. She now wants her to have an MRI scan. Im in a bit of shock I think, as I was initially told that I had nothing to worry about. Is it that unusual for a baby of her age to not weight bear? I have an older daughter who crawled first then walked at around 14 months.
