Question
The baby born on October 31, 2012, was delivered by cesarean section due to an incorrect fetal position. The baby’s legs were compressed, causing the soles of the feet to face each other. The child is still very young and has a long way to go. What should I do? Please, a kind doctor, help me.
Answer
Newborns often have some degree of foot inversion, which typically improves as they grow. This is because the baby’s two lower legs cross inside the womb, leading to foot inversion. If the foot inversion is still noticeable at 6 months, it may indicate congenital clubfoot and may require corrective shoes or surgery.
