My almost one year old has started walking and he walks almost always on his tiptoes. I'm worried this will hurt his feet. Any other mums experiencing this?

Don't worry. I have read that it is common for babies to walk on their toes when they just learned to walk. Walking on tiptoes will not hurt them and they will eventually learn to walk properly when they grow older. http://www.m.webmd.com/children/news/20120723/childrens-toe-walking-not-sign-bigger-problem
