My 16 month old daughter cannot weight bear

[physiobob]

Hi Natalie, I just wanted to say that there a so many reasons why a child might not walk by 16 months that advice here should be kept in perspective. People are likely to offer considerations that are best noted and perhaps presented to your local paediatrician and or paediatric physiotherapist. I would also suggest it would take either professional a few meetings with your child to form a clinical picture of what is or is not going on. For after all it might just be that your daughter is a later starter.

So please read what others offer here but don't panic or get to confused as many are likely to come up with numerous and different possibilities. We wish you and your daughter the best for the outcome and please do keep us all informed

As a paediatric physio I am in total agreeance with PhysioBob in that there are so many variables as to why your daughter isn't weight bearing. There are so many questions that need to be asked as to what she is actually doing etc. You really need to see a paediatric physio who will be able to assess and advise / provide appropriate therapy. A good Paediatrican should be kept in the loop as well.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.
