Re: Recurrence after DBB

And kids are so smart...once they learn that if they cry enough, it

will be just taken off, well than that's it, rough road ahead!

Don't know what your doctor was thinking! If he said this to you, I

would really wonder if he has been properly trained in the Ponseti

method. I cannot imagine a Ponseti doctor saying this! Our doctor

said that he does 10% of the work and we as parents keeping her in

her brace do 90%, he is very humble imo, but bracing is just that

important in this method.

You should consider taking your little one to another (Ponseti)

doctor to make sure his feet are OK, especially with him being out of

the brace so much...if his feet wern't fully corrected or are

starting to relapse, the brace will be uncomfortable on him!

If it were me, I would want to KNOW that his feet were Fully

corrected before I put him back into the brace full time. He IS going

to put up a fuss and I think you really need to make sure that he is

fussing because he thinks they will be taken off NOT fussing because

he is in pain kwim??

And just so you know, our daughters foot does look 'perfect', really,

only I can tell which one was clubbed. Your son should be able to get

the same results...think you really need to get a 2nd opinion here!!

just my 2 cents

wearing it 1/2 time, ya know? Once in a blue moon I let him take a

break for a night, or remove it a little early if necessary but I'm

too darn scared of relapse to be too lenient with it.
