Some people suggested it might be an ear infection so that is what I'm hoping for now.... I work in hospice so my brain immediately goes to bad places with things like this. An ear infection would be nice, reason he is acting weird with an easy solution. Fingers crossed :) </p> Truth Bombs on "walking like feet are asleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walking-like-feet-are-asleep#post-2219609 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 10:27:09 +0000 Truth Bombs 2219609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know these things can be scary but try not to freak out until you know what you're dealing with. Have you tried asking your son about it and if he is aware of it? Sometimes toddlers do weird stuff that is freaky to us as parens but the kids are actually doing it on purpose. </p> reverie on "walking like feet are asleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/walking-like-feet-are-asleep#post-2219593 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 10:16:52 +0000 reverie 2219593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two year old has been walking for over a year now. The other night (shoes off) I noticed he was like dragging one of his feet. Almost like he couldn't pick it up all the way. It was close to bedtime and he was pretty goofy so we thought he was just tired. </p> <p>Today at the park my husband noticed it is back (we hadn't seen it for a few days) and it is really obvious to watch in person (he is also in shoes if that make a difference). My husband likens it to him walking with one of his feet being asleep but it isn't getting better the more he walks. </p> <p>We have an MD appt this afternoon, but my mind goes to the worst types of conclusions and I imagine he'll need a scan of some sort to rule out any major issues. </p> <p>Has anyone seen something similar with their LO? I'm obvoiusly freaking out right now :( </p>
