Baby Bending Foot When Standing Up...

aj9648

Hi

My son turned one last week and has been doing the usual furniture cruising round the living room etc for a few weeks now.

I have noticed today that when he stands up using the couch he uses the side of his right foot so that his toes point away from his body. Should I be concerned about this. Observing my niece who is roughly the same age she uses her toes and her toes point forwards.

I have heard of bowed legs etc - any risks

Should I be worried?

If you have any concerns I would suggest you talk with your GP.

if he is just 'cruising' around the furniture - then for now I wouldnt worry too much. He is 'finding his feet' as my nan put it! If, however, he still seems to have problems when he starts 'freestyling' I would mention it to GP. Its likely though, that he still doesnt really know what to do with both feet!

must be common then.
my dgs is just taking his first steps and does the same.
