Re: Anyone's child toe-in when they walk?

[Guest guest]

nicole...

grace is 18 months old and has just started walking 2

weeks ago and she does the same thing... we saw her

doctor 2 days after she started walking and he said

that was also typical and would probably get better in

time... he said as long as the foot itself doesn't

start turning in or she starts walking on the outside

of her foot that the toe-in was ok... hth..

My Gabe does the same thing although he isn't walking on his own yet. Dr.

Ponseti told me it was due to him having a very strong anterior tibialis tendon

in both feet ( more so on the left ). That tendon is very flexible, but when

Gabe flexes it , it pulls the toes inward. We are hoping it will correct

passively over the next few months, although it isn't likely. We are going back

to Iowa to see Ponseti in his 20th month to see if he'll need a anterior tendon

transfer. We're crossing our fingers.

ortho he said this is pretty normal with club foot babies to curve their toes

inward and they usually outgrow it. I am just wondering if anyone else's child

does this... should I be worried?

Hi .

's does this too. Her toes look crunched in (if that makes sense)

when she walks. She is still walking on the entire foot, so I wasn't too

worried about it. I also remember this topic came up in the past and I

recall it is normal.
