Turned out foot when walking - should we be worried?

[1pj]

My DD is doing the same,she didnt walk till about 16months and shes now 18 months and still has her right foot out turned,its mainly when shes wearing shoes,ive been keeping an eye on it but thought maybe id wait untill shes been walking properly a little while as shes really only got the hang of it properly about a month ago.I agree with the above posts just wanted you to know it seems to happen,my sis in laws girl did the same,maybe its a balance thing,but if your worried no harm getting it checked,thats what i will do if doesnt rectify soon.

Thanks everyone, I guess I will go and get it check out, just to appease my own worry

In all other ways she is very healthy and happy so I don't think there is anything seriously wrong.

My DD has one foot that turns out quite a lot too. My health nurse noticed it at our 6 month check up and recommended we see a pshysio which we did. The physio said they are more concerned with a foot that turns in than a foot that turns out and was pretty confident that it would fix itself up once she had been walking for a month or so.

Thanks Fi1980. Fred actually started walking properly on her own yesterday and both feet are looking normal - thank goodness. I guess it was just one of those things!
