Clubbed foot? - questioning my own GP.

Am I being unreasonable to call up the GP and complain / ask for a second opinion?

My baby had his 6-8 week baby and mum check today, I've been sent away being told my baby has clubbed foot 'not that bad, just google and YouTube exercises to help him and it should self resolve'

GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE?! How about as a GP advise what I should be doing!!!!!!!

Secondly, I cannot see club foot. If anything his feet go more outwards, am I missing something? If so, please point it out.

Well I can't even tell which foot is supposed to have an issue... so if he has , it's incredibly mild! (Not an expert but my DS1 wore leg braces for many years and one of his mates has talipes )
I'd definitely want a second opinion!

My daughter had a mild case of Talipes (club foot) at birth. Hers was the inward kind and we had exercises that we found online for 6 weeks and saw a baby physio at a free drop in session a few times. But It pretty much went away on its own.

From the photos, maybe number 3 but hers were much more scrunched in where they’d been tucked up in my tummy.
