Anyone's toddler with webbed toes?

jinnymb · May 2014

My 14 month old has the 2nd/3rd toes on each foot webbed together. He crawled around 6 months and still isn't really walking. He has taken a few steps, but seems uneasy on the feet. I've brought his feet up at every appointment and the pedi always confirms it isn't an issue. He has his 15 month appointment in a couple of weeks and I'll have her check out his gate, but wasn't sure if anyone had any experience or trouble walking with webbed toes?

Thanks!

I agree with the poster above. 14 months is still in the realm of acceptable. But, I'm curious. Why haven't they separate the toes? Is there a timeframe for doing so?

I know an 18 month old with a few webbed toes on each foot. She's been walking since about 12months and running shortly after. Unless the big toes is webbed I would highly doubt it has anything to do with walking. Not sure the big toe would have an affect but I believe the big toes has more to do with balance so there may be a slight chance.

Just give him time. Many kids don't walk until 16-17months and are perfectly fine.

Okay thanks ladies!! Yeah since it's not his big toe, they don't separate, said it could do more harm than good. He has two actual toes, they are just stuck together, lol.

Long time lurker here. I have my 2nd and 3rd toes webbed on each foot as does my sister, father, grandmother, grandfather etc. It never caused any delay in any of our walking what so ever. I wouldn't be concerned if your child isn't walking yet. My DD didn't start walking until 15 mo. Our pedi said it would only be a concern if she wasn't walking by 18mo.

I have those same toes webbed on both feet. I didn't have trouble walking either.

Me and my 16 month old both have webbed toes - the 2nd and 3rd. No problems here!

I think they are cute. Hahaha
