I bet you’ll find the specialist boots a huge help. So glad you’ve got a diagnosis. Thank you for your comment. x

Finding this has been so helpful. My little boy who is 20 months has finally started weight bearing but still bot pulling up. He was diagnosed with weak ankles and is also double jointed- it all makes sense. We are hoping to get some specilist boots made and go from there.

Hello Louise, yes she was standing and putting weight on her feet, it’s just that her ankles were so bendy they would roll and then she couldn’t balance on them. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope you have some answers soon. x

Hi, my 19 month old has never even attempted to put weight on his legs in order to stand. I in fact have Hypermobility Syndrome but they’ve told me this wouldn’t stop him attempting to get on his feet. He’s been through a general anaesthetic in order to have an MRI scan on his brain and blood tests which all came back clear. We’ve an appointment coming up next week at a child development centre and I’m worried sick. Can you tell me did your LO try and put weight on her feet? I just want to help my son xx

Hello i came across this post because my son has a similar issue. He is 26 months old and still doesn’t walk independelty but he does walk wearing his AFO braces. Its been a fustrating two years with doctors. When he was born i didnt think anything was wrong but at 8 months i started noticing he was weaker then other kids his age and his foot was turned in and down. They first told me it was club foot and i had to have him wear braces at night to correct it. But it didnt really help then they told me it was low muscle tone and he will walk when hes ready. But this was a year ago and he still just cruises around furntiure and maybe takes a few steps independetly here and there bare foot. Im scared he may never walk because hes only gonna get heavier which will make it harder for him to walk but i really dont know i just try to keep hope that they will figure out the issue. I am going to get him genetic testing in a few months just to make sure its nothing genitically. Everything else is okay with him he talks and communicates what he wants or what he feels but his feet are just very flexible and ive never saw him move his toes so it makes me nervous that its serious.

Hi Rehana, my daughter is now 6 and a half and thriving. She no longer needs physio and just wears insoles in her shoes. To see her you’d never guess she went through the challenge that she did as a toddler. A few things helped – swimming, toys at standing height (we had a play kitchen which helped encourage her to stand and play, strengthening her muscles) and – for me – talking to other parents who had been through the same thing. I’d definily recommend checking out the Hypermobility Syndrome Association (HMSA) online as there’s a wealth of resources for parents there.
