This article offers suggestions for dealing with your daughter’s in-toed walking problem.

Many children have slightly bowed legs before the age of 2, which will straighten out later. Some children may appear to have a degree of in-toed walking. Typically, a child’s in-toed gait will disappear after the age of 7. No treatment is needed. A very small number of bow legs or in-toed gait are caused by diseases and require medical treatment. Recommendations: Rickets caused by vitamin D deficiency can lead to bow legs, so it is important to take vitamin D supplements preventively before the age of 3, with 400 IU daily.

When a child just learns to walk, if the parent notices an unstable gait, it may be caused by muscle relaxation or other diseases. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment, and to strengthen exercise to enhance physical fitness.

If a child walks with their feet turning inward, it could be due to in-toeing or other gait abnormalities. Send a video of the child walking to the doctor for a definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment or training.
