17 mo old when learned to walk toe walks & also can walk flat footed. today after he woke up from nap one foot is a little stiff. what can be the cause of this?

Some ideas: Toe walking, while not always abnormal at 17 mo can lead to some stiffness in the process. The toe walking shortens the distance the normal calf muscle uses during the activity & alters the forces on the foot. You may want to see his doc to see if some physical therapy to stretch the calf may be helpful.
