We did all three of these things with Sammie (your PT would have fainted!!
:) ) and she never had the tippy toe problem ever. We did look for it, and
our PT told us that if we ever saw it, to stop the walker immediately. As
it was, Sammie started walking on 12/5/94 (not quite 11 mo corrected), even
after our PT told us there was NO WAY she'd be walking by the end of December.
I guess this is one of those things where there's always an exception to the
rule!
Best wishes for all of our babies!
