I find that very cute my children did it. they would walk flat foot, If you ask your doctor about it maybe they might help you out.

Most babies do that because their Achilles tendons are not fully developed like ours are. Their's are tight from being in the womb. As they get older it should lengthen. So if you are still concerned about it, talk to your daughter's doctor about it.

My son walks on his toes too. Sometimes he walks flatfooted too (Mostly when wearing his Nike shoes). He seems to walk just fine so unless your pediatrician thinks it's a problem, I wouldn't worry about it.
