In-toeing

[kidsx4]

Has anyone had a child with this?
My 17 month ds has this where big toes touch to the point he trips himself up health visitor has spoke to poditrist and they are going to keep a eye on him and if he is still the same at 2 then he will be refered, just wondered if anyone else had expericanced this. Tia

Anyone?

My 16 month dd has been refered to orthotics to get some shoes to help correct something very similar. She actually still can't walk - and it's largely because there is a gentle twist on the legs, feet and toes....making her slightly bowed legged and pigeon-toed.

We're only getting the shoes because it's her whole leg and foot plus toes that are involved - but I was told that it's really common for the toes to touch and they usually grow out of it the more they walk.

If he's already walking i'd say that was a good sign Even though we have a slightly more advanced version of what you ds has - it can still be corrected by just wearing some shoes (they're very cute!) with support ....and no medical intervention. HTH.

Thanks for the reply
