9 months old feet turning inward

Hey, so my little man has started to take few steps whilst holding on to something. I've noticed that his feet, in particular the left one seem
curved inward. I've tried to find some pediatric podiatrist around, it proved trickker than I thought! I hoping to get his feet assessed. Any advice? Cheers

Its perfectly normal for a child that age. You only need intervention if it doesn't correct itself by a certain age. Its still a good idea to get it looked at to exclude congenital hip problems though.

You can see a physio either is fine. I used to be a paediatric podiatrist but I'd normally refer to physio if I needed to because this problem can originate from the hip, knee or foot.

@Shehasadiamondinthesky, thanks for that, seeing a physio hadn't crossed my mind. I'll look into it. And the link too Flowers

It's better to go to physio anyway for this problem because should there be a problem that needs correcting at some point it's going to be with stretches, massage, splinting or plaster room.
I personally would never make insoles for intoeing because they won't do anything useful and would cause more harm than good,
