Weakness in limbs/falling while walking

Hi ,

The past 1-2  days I am seeing that my daughter is falling sometimes while walking, she starts walking on her heels  or is just faltering, walking strangely .I am so worried. Yesterday night it seemed that she could not put one feet on ground. I will take her to  doctor  soon. She is 1.5 years and I feel her height is much more.

She is not a new walker, she started walking when she was 11 months.
Did any kid's mom have the same problem?

Thanks and regards

Hi,

Now that you have posted about it,i remember we had a little bit of similar problem with my son,and i remember our doctor checked his blood calcium levels and did an x-ray,his calcium was low and his x-ray showed mild rickets,he was then put on calcium supplements,what i wonder now is that i didn't know how much Vitamin D is important at that time,but Vitamin D deficiency can also be a cause of rickets or bone softening,especially the kids who are exclusively breast fed are mostly deficient in Vitamin D,one more thing i remember that doctor asked us to let him play in morning sunlight,and that was obviously for vitamin D.He recovered fine. Alhumdulillah.

So lets see what your doctor has to say,checking calcium and Vitamin D levels would be a good idea.

Good luck and keep updating.
