hi thank you for consulting me in health care magic...
1.From what i have read here,i assume your baby is cruising but not walking independently...which is ok for her age and it is apt to wait till 18 months, and children usually should walk by 2 years and if not u need to get her development assessed with a developmental specialist then
2.Regarding the next concern about delay in all the milestones,i need more details about her past (antenatal,birth and post natal history) to rule out any insults from history and also prematurity..so u send me the above details which will help me to guide u better
3. last being the left foot ,its shape and position ...please be seen by a orthopedician for the same,because if it is fixed / positional talipus (club foot) or anything else it would need their intervention
regards,
dr Sowmya
