Turned feet

Hi everyone, my little boy is just over two years old and his feet are still quite turned out when he walks. His left one seems worse than his right at the moment. We are going to get him checked but has anyone else experienced this and did it resolve itself? Any advice would be appreciated. 🙂

    Oh darl, I hope he will be ok, it is a good thing you noticed early 🙂 Unfortunately we can’t help passing on our genes to our little ones can we, lol, I am sure with how advanced things are becomming in the medical world he will still be able to everything other kids can do, I am sure it won’t hold him back. Thanks for sharing with me darl, my thoughts are with you 🙂

    Hi mel, just thought I would let you know how we got on at the doctor’s today. He said that my little man has extremely flat feet and so his feet actually are rolling inwards. It means his ankles will be prone to rolling and he will be prone to shin splints and so on. He also said that he will need shoes with good arch support and ankle support. Unfortunately he has inherited this from me as this is how my feet are. Apparently only 10 percent of people have normal feet anyway so it is just something we will have to watch. I still played sport and everything so I am sure he will be fine. Thanks for your concern, I appreciate it. xxx

    Cheers darl, let us know how you get on, I might have to take a close look at both of my toddlers, I never really pay that much attention to their feet, or well at least I have never noticed anything out of the ordinary, I will deinately take notice in the morning now 🙂

    Thanks Mel, it can be quite normal in toddlers but I am just a bit concerned that one is worse than the other, plus I have only just noticed it. I will try to get a doctor’s appointment this week.
