Hi,
What about his other developmental milestones like speaking and understanding things?
This might suggest spasticity(here we have to consider cerebral palsy) or club foot. We need to examine him, or at least see a video of him walking. Kindly take him to a pediatrician for evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
