ok here goes! Firstly, your baby will develope normally, ds has sat, crawled, pulled to standing and is now cruising- all on a par with his peers. Secondly, after the first couple of weeks of treatment your baby's feet will look 'normal' (at least to an untrained eye- you will become a foot expert!).
There are 2 different treatment paths which can be followed in the UK at the monment. one is surgical and has quick results but poor longterm success- painful feet later in childhood. The second in non-surgical and is called the Ponseti method. This has been done in America for years but only more recently here. The longterm outlook is great, with normal functioning feet. We are lucky enough to be in an area which offers this treatment method- where abouts are you?
Ponseti method starts when baby is 1 or 2 weeks old. Each week the feet are put in to casts, gradually trning them outwards. This should take about 5-7 casts/weeks. The casting process is a bit stressful but once in the casts my ds was fine. After the feet are in a good position it is usually necessary for the tendon on the back of the heel to be snipped - this is done with numbing cream and takes 5 mins, then the feet are re-cast for 2 weeks. after that the baby is fitted with a special boot brace which is worn for 3 months day and night. To begin with this was the most stressful part for us as ds found them uncomfy. We got a different brand and he was then fine! After 3 months, the boots are just worn at night time. Remember, by this time your baby will only be 5 or 6 months old!
At times it is difficult- more for you that the baby! We are now well in to wearing the boots at night time, it is just part of his bedtime routine- bath, boots, books, boob, bed! He knows no different, and will know o different until he is 4- a daunting thought for us at times.
Enjoy your pregnancy, we didn't find out on the scan and I'm glad- the internet can be a scary place!
