Concerned About Daughter's Feet

My 4 yr old is the same way.. We've had her to her old & new pediatrician and even the ortho specialist and they all said that she is fine and will grow out of it.. I know it's hard not to be concerned, but I wouldn't worry until they tell you it's a problem if it is.. My guess is that she will grow out of it cause when we took our daughter they said alot of kids have this problem..

This is fairly common, I think. When I was an infant, our parents used to put strange shoes on our feet with bars between them, and would switch the left shoe to the right foot, right shoe to the left foot, etc., all to turn our feet straight. So when my youngest had turned-in feet, you should have heard all the suggestions I got from my mother and mother-in-law about it! They were sure my child had a terrible problem that was inherited from his parents. I took him to an orthopedist at CHoP who told me not to worry about it. Also, I nagged my cousin at a family BBQ one day. (He's one of the top pediatric orthos in the country.) He also told me not to worry, with the added benefit of telling my mother to quit worrying me!
My son is now 16. His feet are slightly turned in, but he's much, much better than when he was little and looked as if he'd trip over his own feet. He recently hit a height of 6'4" and with size 14 shoes, so he's still a bit awkward and has to get used to his height, long legs and big feet.
They do grow out of it. It's very common, and I'm willing to bet that your doctor will tell you the same thing. Don't worry about it unless an MD tells you there's something to worry about.

I noticed the day my daughter was born that her left foot turned in and when she was about 8 months they had me put a right shoe on her left foot, then i went to the Ortho and they put a cast, that didn't work so they sent me to Children's hospital and they said there is nothing to worry about as long as it doesn't affect her walking and running she is fine. She is now 2 and it doesn't seem to bother her i just normally buy wide width shoes for her

My cousin's son had a similar problem. She worked with a doctor and he is doing great now. It was actually a simple solution of doing some simple exercises and buying some good sneakers. She found that he does really well with New Balance sneakers and they aren't even expensive!!

My son was born with his feet turned in. He has what is called Skew feet. We did exercises and he had to wear corrective shoes for a couple of years. He is now 16, and the one foot is straight, but the other one still turns in a little. It does not affect his running. I was told that if his feet start bothering him or he starts falling alot, then something would have to be done. Good luck and do have her checked out.
