Hello everyone, hope you are having a great day. I thought that I would post this question and would appreciate some words of advice.

Our youngest daughter, almost 1, has been walking since 10 months. I know this is not unusual. Our oldest daughter (three) didn't walk until she was 14 months old. So when she started walking it was very easy. Our youngest, though, is quite a "pork chop" and her toes are pointing inward as she walks...will she grow out of this as she gets more and more stable? Or do I get some help now! Thank you for your opinions!!

I can't see it, but I would think that they will straighten up, but I would bring it up at your next doctors appt.

my daughter (14 months) started walking at 11 months and was a little pigeoned toed as well. <y dr. said that's it's probably from sleeping on her belly (her feet rest inwards when shes on her tummy). He said that they would straighten out on their own but if she just sitting, he said to sometimes just bend her feet outwards because sometimes the muscles and ligaments tighten up in that position and that by bending then it stretches everything out alittle.
Hope that helps..oh by the way My daughter walks fine now...no pigeon toes:)
