Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Heidi, Someone will be able to guide you to information about relapse that is somewhere out here in cyber space. I don't remember where to find it. However, you should know that babies do stand on their toes on occasion. Does she do this with her non-CF also? Sounds more like a behavior than a relapse, but if you are concerned you should definitely see or talk to her doctor. You could also email pictures to Dr. P. Do whatever it takes to ease your mind. Good luck. Donna > > Hi everybody > > I have a duaghter who is 18 months now w unilateral clubfoot being > examined by Dr. P and now i am following with dr. Calburn.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi, I just seen her doctor like 2 months ago and everything was fine then. She is wearing her marshall shoes from 11-12 hours daily. I am scared it would be my fault that i am not making her wear it in her nap time also. I am trying to give her some rest in her nap time from the shoes. It looks like i have to take her to the doctor this week. Thanks anyway for the links Heidi > > > > Hi everybody > > > > I have a duaghter who is 18 months now w unilateral clubfoot being > > examined by Dr. P and now i am following with dr. Calburn.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Lots of kids go through a toe-walking phase. They learn how and want to keep doing it till the newness wears off so perhaps that is the deal with your baby. I would just try to ignore the new trick so she's not encouraged to keep doing it as long as her feet seem other wise normal right now. s.
