Sophie Chandler's siblings were both walking by the age of one but she will not walk before she is two.

Her mother, Tina, thinks this might have been avoided with better health screening.

For Sophie, aged 21 months, has developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) - a condition in which the ball and socket of the hip do not develop properly.

Tina said she feels desperately sorry for her daughter who spent four months in plaster, unable to run around with her siblings or even have a bath.

She will be fine and as she knows no different she wont worry that she cant get around with the others .........I realise its hard to watch but she knows nothing else and probably her siblings do it for her anyway!!

My son has or had nothing wrong with him ....but didnt walk till he was 26 months!!!!! Runs for county now!!!

We sat and watched my friend's son dragging himself across the floor on his bum at some advanced age and hoped he would think about walking before he went to school because the trousers would be expensive.
He did.

Likewise,another friend's son did learn to dress himself.She never did have to tell his wife she would have to dress him.
