Question

A 1-year-3-month-old baby walks with legs that are widely spaced, and when trying to bring them together, the calves curve and cannot be completely closed. Is this a sign of O-shaped legs?

Answer

Based on the description and observation, the baby may have mild O-shaped legs. This could be caused by a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to expose the baby to more sunlight, avoid starting walking too early. Appropriately provide cod liver oil and calcium tablets, and increase intake of juices rich in calcium, vitamins, and beta-carotene. I hope these suggestions help you, and wish you health!
