Baby's Feet Development - Podiatrist Georgina Tay, East Coast Podiatry

[@kristinabbott1813]

Hi, my 9 month daughter keeps her left big toe flexed about 85% of the day. It can be pushed down, but it immediately flexes back up after I let go. I'm not sure what to think. I've never seen anything like it.

[@EastCoastPodiatry]

Hi Kristin, based on your description, it could be an issue with her flexor tendons of her big toe. If it persists, we would strongly recommend that you bring your child to a podiatrist for assessment and treatment as soon as you can..

How do I prevent my baby from putting pressure on her feet when trying to stand slight development of clubbed feet

[@721DeNero]

What should I do to help develop arches in my babies foot?

[@Zeenitall]

Hi. Our son has what seems to be crooked toes. Can you steer us in the right direction. Thanks

[@EastCoastPodiatry]

Hey Zeenitall, overlapping toes could be a condition known as curly toes. Depending on the age of your child, solutions such as splints or orthotic devices could be used for treatment. However, we strongly advise against off-the-shelf treatments as it is crucial to address this medical issue with medical solutions. Speak to a podiatrist in your area to have your child examined as soon as you can.

[@Start_Vlogger]

[@EastCoastPodiatry]

Hi Anuj, knock knees are still common at 4 so it's possible that it may resolve itself, but having him checked will definitely help. However, if the child is tripping often or has trouble walking, you should consult a podiatrist in your area as soon as possible.

Hi good Day I want your opinion . I just want to know the exercises for perfect straight foot for 5 year old child .I realized my son foot growing like a backward bend ...

Hi Siva, if your child's foot is growing at an angle at the age of 5, you should be speaking to a podiatrist or paediatrician in your area as this may require medical intervention. Exercises alone will not help your child.

My baby of 5months can't stand when being held is there an cause to worry

[@EastCoastPodiatry]

Hi amazing Grace, sorry for the delay in replying. By now, your child should be in the 8th or 9th month of growth. While being unable to stand with support at the fifth month may be considered slightly behind the usual developmental milestones, it is not particularly serious. If your child is still unable to stand with support at their current age, you should speak to a podiatrist or a paediatrician about appropriate developmental milestones for your child.

[@as_video3629]

[@islamictalks787]

Hi my 4 months daughter has swelling at her feet can you please suggest why it is so and what is the treatment

[@EastCoastPodiatry]

Hi Mehnaz, paediatric oedema is the swelling of feet in children. There are many possible reasons for this including spending too long in one position or consuming too much salt. There are also medical conditions that can lead to such swelling. Without examining your child, it is impossible to say why or how they can be treated. However, do hydrate sufficiently. Please bring your baby to a podiatrist in your area for a proper diagnosis.

Hi Citlaly, we recommend that you speak to a podiatrist as the best time to address such foot abnormalities is before the child's bones have hardened. If treatment is required, it could be as simple as performing stretching exercises or using a splint to move the toes to the appropriate position.

[@EastCoastPodiatry]

Hey Johan, overlapping toes do affect a small number of newborns but some do improve on their own. We have had some patients bringing in newborns to our clinics for an assessment for such issues. With that in mind, we would recommend that you make an appointment with a podiatrist before your child is 6 months old to see if there's any early intervention that would be suitable for your child.

[@EastCoastPodiatry]

Hi Grayc, tiptoe walking or balancing is not uncommon till the age of two. Your child may have been tiptoeing as they were still learning to develop muscular control. Since it's been some time, we would expect your child to be standing with support now. However, if the issue persists, please seek a paediatrician or podiatrist in your area to have your child looked at.

Dear Monik, we are not too sure by what you mean by your baby's foot being aside, but at 3 months of age, your infant's foot may correct itself over time. If there is an area of concern or symptoms such as swelling, redness or an inflexible joint, you can speak to a podiatrist to see if there is a real issue of concern. Take care!

Hi Juali, it is very common for infants to have legs that curve inwards as their joints have not fully developed. The vast majority of such cases improve over time, however, we would advise that you monitor your child for such as they grow older. Meanwhile, we encourage you to look for a good podiatrist to bring your child to.

Hi Helen, most children outgrow toe walking by the age of 2 so your child is still within the normal ranges.

Hi Shruti, out-toeing is incredibly common amongst young children below the age of two. However, many experts do not recommend the use of a walker as this can delay a child's development as well as increase the risk of injury.

Hi Pooja, do you mean that her left foot is pointing outwards while the right foot is pointing forwards? This is known as out-toeing or duck-walking. Since it's one-sided, it's unlikely to be hip dysplasia but could be an indication of external tibial torsion. If the out-toeing is accompanied by signs such as excessive tripping or poor balance, we would recommend you speak to a local podiatrist to address your concerns.

[@EastCoastPodiatry]

Hi Munmum, if we are understanding you correctly, your daughter may have a flat arch that is causing her foot to splay outwards. That could also be responsible for the pressure on the big toe. This condition can be addressed but you should speak to a podiatrist for a diagnosis and see if treatment is necessary.

@@Munmun6547 Hi Munmun, surgery is the most common treatment for this situation. If it's not too severe, non-surgical treatments such as casting or stretching may be suitable.

Hi IR, depending on the type of noise, it could be normal. As your child's body is still developing, the soft tendons interacting with hard bones can make clicking noises, particularly in the spine, shoulders, or lower legs. However, you should check with your child's pediatrician if the sound is coming from his hips as that may be a sign of a congenital hip dislocation.

If her feet remain swollen, bring her to a podiatrist or paediatrician in your area as soon as possible.

Hi Samima, some children experience bow leggedness before the age of two but you should see some correction over time. If it's just one leg, it could suggest some degree of femoral anterversion, which is when the femur is rotated inwards, causing the knee and toes to also curve inwards. We would recommend you approach a podiatrist or paediatrician for assistance and assessment, especially if the condition persists.

Madm my baby is 7months but baby feet nt only redness crying baby any problm it is normle wt to do plz Tel me

[@EastCoastPodiatry]

Hi Shweta, we hope your baby is better. Is the redness accompanied by any swelling or warm feeling of the foot? If so, there could be a rash or some other issue and we would recommend that you speak to a doctor or podiatrist in your area.

Hi, my daughter is 14 months old, she is walking well for the past 2 weeks but she seems to have over pronation especially on one foot, is this something we should see a doctor about or is this something that improves by itself as she gets older?

Now she is ok?

Hi mam, my baby is 6 month old and i observed and measures that her one ankle is tinier than other ankle. My wife and me dont have any genetic problem. Please guide us, what to do ?

[@EastCoastPodiatry]

Hi Amit, based on your description of your child's foot, there should be little cause for worry unless she has other issues that have been identified such as club foot. Your daughter's bones are still growing and are likely to change over time. If this issue persists, you should consult a Podiatrist for a checkup to ensure that there are no abnormalities with your child's feet.
