better you check with a nearby paediatrician...things may be simple but better checked
Thanks for asking,most likely your daughter seems to have vitD or calcium def or both.Before starting any of these supplements,to investigate is better,go for serum Vitd 3 levels,serum ca,phosphorus and alkaline phosphate levels by a good lab and get her checked as well bcuz besides these deficiencies kids with weak muscles can also have such problems
This could simply mean that she is not fully ready to walk yet. No harm in checking her Calcium, Vitamin D levels. But you should wait atleast untill 18 months of age for her to walk independently.
Evaluation by some physician or physiotherapist is advisable.
Children are generally quite wobbly when they start walking which improves in couple of months.
However if she remains wobbly after 18 months of age then must consult a qualified Paediatrician
Asalam alaikum. It can happen when babies start walking. However getting her checked will be advisable.
Rickets is a common problem with the little one in our closed environment social care.
Consult a nearby Consultant Pediatrician for simple treatment.
