I would check to see if your daughter doesn't have a sensory issue. My daughter is 18 months old and was diagnosed with low muscle tone at a year old. She also has issues with her feet. She also had issues with her hands. She wouldn't bring anything to her mouth. We tried sensitivity exercises. We use early intervention therapists too and they are wonderful. We worked on putting her feet and hands into beans, rice etc. Now she puts everything in her mouth and stands a little better. She was standing on the outsides of her feet. It has worked very well. She still curls her toes on the carpet. Our therapist also suggested a good shoe to take away the sensitivity. Just a thought.
We just got a benik vest today to help support her trunk muscles so she will learn to crawl and walk. Right now she rolls to get around.
My son was diagnoised with low muscle tone when he was about 6 months old. The only reason we found out so quick was he had torticollis so he had to wear a helmet for 3 months to help reshape his head when i took him in to get his torticollis checked out by a PT they figured out he had low muscle tone. He has been in PT for over a year now he will be 2 this month and is walking and running with the other kids. Your baby will be able to do this stuff it just may take her a little longer and i looked at it this way my son just got to be a “baby” a little longer. He also has the smo’s(braces) in two months after he got them he started taking steps so those do help if they decide she has to have them.
My son is 21 months and still not walking by himself , he crawls so fast, stands, cruises, but not walking. He was diagnosed low muscle tone a month ago, my pediatrician suggest to contact early intervention program, that’s right they came to my house, now my son is receiving physical therapy , he just started a week ago, he also will need to use SMO. Mis I regret that I decided to start this process to late, I think the sooner the better, but doctors always say to wait until 18 months, but I think that is babies don’t walk around 12 months you can start checking on that.
My concern is that he has a very bad temper so therapy is going to be tuff
