Tip toe walking

My 16m old randomly started walking on her toes recently. She has been walking for like 3 months now and all of a sudden walks on her toes randomly. I have no concerns of autism but should I be concerned about something else?

My oldest went through this and it was just a phase. She grew out of it and we couldn't find any related issues to cause it.

My 16m old too. Testing her abilities.

Can get a referral to PT if it continues! It can be unrelated to autism as well, and they just develop their muscles unevenly and they continue to tip toe walk- you don’t want it to become a habit so no harm getting it checked out! (Pediatric speech therapist, but work with OT and PT)
