braces, strollers and testing a baby

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I always get such good advice/info. on this sight I wanted to ask

anyone for input on these subjects.

My 4 year old doesn't wear AFOs and her foot drop isn't bad.

The problem is that she gets so fatigued and tired when we walk. It's

hard to just get into stores and get around. I've been letting her

ride in the stroller at the mall, I'm considering buying a double

stroller because her 1 year old sister needs to ride too. I just feel

a little silly buying a double stroller for a 4 1/2 year old...I'm not

sure how long she would fit and such.

I'm just wondering what could help her with fatigue and do you think

AFOs could be a benefit?

My other thought is about testing my baby...I have put it off, she is

13 months. She is still not walking and everyday I just stress and

freak myself out about CMT. I'm thinking it might be better off if I

know so then I don't feel the need to push her to walk...right now I

feel like if I can get her to walk then I will feel reassured or

something. Anyways any thoughts on this subject...

Thanks,

Amelia
