Does she put her toes out like that or do they do it on their own? My son does that with his big toe like he’s balancing himself and our doctor said not to worry.... of course I do though
@laniejay they do that when she walks or puts weight on them they straighten out some what when she's not putting weight on them. She's been diagnosed with metatarsus adductus but all they have said is that they'll just keep an eye on it, she sees an orthopedic every 6 months since she was 15 months old. Next week i'm taking her to a different orthopedic to get a second opinion.
Off to google I go. That’s what my kiddo does and I kept telling my husband something is odd about it. He trips himself up a lot too and I swear it’s because he’s putting his toe out like that.
@tattooedmommyof4, that makes me feel a little better as it is definitely better than when he first started walking, but it’s annoying that I knew something was up and was brushed off. I hope all goes well for your little one!
My baby’s toes curl under while he’s standing or sitting. But they straighten when he starts walking. I thought he was just being a little weird. Never thought more of it. Makes me wonder now.

@laniejay according to Google and the first orthopedic doctor we saw they're supposed to outgrow it by 3

@laniejay yeah definitely a good sign if it's improving. My daughters feet aren't looking any better and she's over 3 now.

@bigmama18md it's super common from what I've been told Hopefully he grows out of it!
