Fantastic news LMS sounds like you are very loving mummy with a happy healthy girl to show for it

My first daughter had an umbilical hernia which closed on its own by the time she was 2.5yrs and she also had positional talipes (this is when the baby is born with both her feet turning inwards due to lack of room and her postion in the uterus) I saw a paediatric physio a couple of times who gave me some small exercise to do but she said once she started walking and running it would more than likely right itself, which it did. The paed also suggested taking her to the beach regularly as the sand forces them to keep their feet turned outwards. Just thought Id share our story as we had a great outcome without needing any surgery

I also had positional talipes when I was born but mine was more severe than my DD I had to wear a special boot at night when I was little but my foot is fairly normal now and I can run on it etc although I am very unco but that isn't only a problem with my foot, Im just terrible all round with co-ordination lol.

Thank you so much for sharing, its so great to hear somebody else go through the same sort of issues. My DP had the same issues when he was a boy and needed to wear special shoes but the Dr i saw today was talking about possibly strapping her feet at night.

i would try to get an ortho appt now cos it might take awhile for you to get in. there are physio stretches you can do for baby s feet that work better the younger they are. especially as your dd s dad had talipes (clubfeet), better to get it checked out earlier rather than later.

I had severe talipes so have researched current treatments in case my littlies are born with them.

Very true!

I said to DP after the appointment that i would rather be a worry wart of a mother and get my child looked at then be lazy. I just think as parents its our responsibility to make sure our children are healthy and their bodies are perfect, and by perfect i mean no issues that would affect them in the future.

Yay! Very good news hun, you must be one very relieved mummy!

So pleased that your little girl is fine.

Im so glad you got good results hun :hug:
