Rolling ankles when standing

So my baby still won't pull herself to stand, the health visitor said that they will call me in two weeks to see if there's any improvement (6 weeks from our development appointment). I've been doing the exercises suggested and I've noticed that when she is standing after being put into position her ankles seem to roll inwards, is this normal? Edit to add: she will be 1 years old next week

It can be normal where they're learning and getting a feel of standing being new to them. My son (14 months) always goes on tip toes and I have to correct him but then he rolls the same as yours (thankfully he's recently just been provided with specialist boots to help correct the issues by physio). Just keep correcting child's feet and if still an issue speak to your dr and ask for a referral for physio

@Nicole thank you 😊 being first time mum, worry about everything 🤣

@Kimberley you're welcome. Absolutely first little ones make us worry lots! Hopefully it's just a phase but if not, it's worth speaking to a dr about to get corrected as it may cause further problems x

I’m 31 and I have it. It’s called fallen arches. I had to have physio and insoles. X

Our daughter is only pulling to stand on our hands, not furniture etc and she’s 17 months. She also slightly rolls her ankles and occasionally puts her toes under - I’m putting it down to just not being fully steady and stable yet to be honest

Could be just hyper mobility. My LO is 16 months and has it, he was doing this when he first started trying to walk... Still.does it.

This can be corrected (the earlier the better, so now that she's young) but it needs treatment. I can recommend you my own pediatric physiotherapist (excellent and reasonably priced) if you're interested.
