Treatment for one-year-old baby walking with feet turned outward

Everyone must have seen people who walk with their feet turned outward in life, but have you ever heard of a one-year-old baby who walks with his feet turned outward? I'm sure you haven't heard of it. For a one-year-old baby, it is enough for him to be able to walk. Why are there any requirements for their walking posture? So what should you do if your one-year-old baby walks with his feet turned outward? Now I will introduce to you the treatment method for one-year-old babies who walk with their feet turned outward.

When a one-year-old baby walks, his feet point inward, just like a crab's big claws! This walking posture is common among children who have just learned to walk. During the first few years, as your baby walks, his head leans forward and his feet naturally point inward for balance. Around age 3, this walking posture will change when his thigh and calf muscles become stronger.

If his feet are always pointed inward and you think this walking posture is really indecent, you can make sure that he sits with his legs crossed instead of with his legs apart when he sits on the ground playing. Or buy him a pair of hard-top shoes. In less than a year, you can correct his walking posture.

Genetics is the most common cause of bowlegs. Parents who have pigeon-toed feet often have babies with pigeon-toed feet as well. This inherited external otopod is symmetrical and does not affect walking function, so no treatment is required. However, if the child still has severe pigeon-toed feet after the age of 4, his knees will hit each other when walking or running, making him prone to falling. Or one foot may be turned outward more than the other. This may be an abnormal situation and you need to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and let the doctor help correct it.

You can give your child calcium supplements, and use some arch pads or arch insoles to help support the arch of the foot, so that the inner side of the arch is stressed, which decomposes the pressure on the foot and assists in correcting splay feet.

After reading the introduction to the treatment method for one-year-old babies who walk with their feet turned outward, you should observe your baby's walking posture more often. If the baby walks with his feet turned outward, you can adopt the treatment method for one-year-old babies who walk with their feet turned outward introduced above, and provide timely treatment.
