she is correct most babies have some sort of curve in their feet. If it is bad enough that it needs to be corrected, do as i recomened on your other question and have a specialist let you know how exactly it needs to be corrected like yo usaid the poinseti method is a good one but there are other ways as well.... good luck with your baby

My daughter had club foot and the doctor said for me to correct it as soon as possible. She was just starting to walk at 9 months and falling over the foot all the time.
I took her to a specialist and he sized her feet and we got special shoes for her, she wore them at night when she slept. It had a brace in between the two pairs of shoes { she slept on her back }.
We did this for about 3 months. Then weaned her off of them slowly, she now walks correctly. He son was born with Club-foot and she did nothing about it. When he was 5 years old he had to have surgery which corrected it a little. In a period of 6 years and a lot more surgeries he is 28 now and it is starting to cause trouble again.
I would suggest the special shoes. Talk to your doctor about it..

My son was born with a sever case of bilateral clubfeet, He had to be casted and then had surgery to release his heal cord. Most of the time if it's not a sever case you can just get casting done but I advise you to see a doctor that uses the ponseti method. If you wish to know more just email me. Like i said my son was born with this but he had a sever case and I didn't know about the ponseti method.
lisa_sonydadc@yahoo.com or just look up ponseti method for clubfeet on google.com.
Best of luck to you and the baby..

most babies have strange feet and legs until about the 1st year of life. In most cases it doesnt need correcting.
