- If your baby was in a breech position at birth, it may take him a little longer to stretch out. This is because his feet were up by his ears. It may be a few days before he's ready to straighten his legs. If your baby looks bow-legged, with a small gap between his knees and ankles, don't worry. It's part of the stretching-out process and should take care of itself by the time he's two years old (NHS 2013a) .

Is it normal for babies to walk on their tiptoes? A: If your toddler constantly tiptoes, you may think she's got a future as a ballerina, but this walking style is another leftover from life in utero. Babies' feet are usually pressed up against their buttocks with their toes pointed downward, which shortens the Achilles tendons. This may make it hard for a young child to put her heels down, and it can take months of standing and walking to stretch out her Achilles tendons and calf muscles. If your child never puts her whole foot down or her toes seem stuck pointing down, talk to your pediatrician -- these may be signs of cerebral palsy.
