Not sure if anyone's around to weigh in on this, but asking anyway.
We noticed this afternoon that our LO won't put his left leg down (when we try to stand him up). He has in the past, but won't today. Nothing seems to hurt, he lets us touch his foot, leg, and move them all around without so much as a wince. He is still getting up on hands and knees crawling.
We are going to call the doctor tomorrow but they are only open for appointments from 11-1 and my husband is annoyed that we have to wait so long. I'm not that concerned because he doesn't seem to be in pain, and I'm willing to just wait and see how it is in the morning.
Should I be more concerned than I am? Anyone else noticed anything like this? He'll be 7 months in a few days.
If he's doing everything else normally (crawling, kicking, letting you move/bend his leg, flex his foot) I wouldn't be concerned. He could just not be interested in putting that leg down. Babies are weird. No harm in getting it checked, especially if H is very worried, but I personally wouldn't be concerned.

Seconded that he's probably just being a little weirdo But one thing also popped to mind. Does he use a jumperoo/exersaucer anything like that? My physio friend (who has an opinion about everything) told me she gets kids who lean to one side because of the way they sit in those things. Because they're hanging, sometimes their hips aren't well aligned and they learn to stand in the wrong way. Could be a mild/early case of that?

Yes, he does have one and I was thinking it could be related somehow also. I was planning to keep him out of it for awhile & will have to ask daycare to do the same.
My H wants to bring him to the doctor so I'll see what they say also.
