hi everyone,
has anyone come across seeing a slight bow legs on a 7mths old baby. well, i see a little on my son. i dont know if i should be worried or not.
please advise
They should straighten out when your baby starts using them more.
i heard that from some people but dont know how true it is?
It’s true. They are bowed b/c of being bent and squished in your belly for 9 months. Then they bear no weight for months before the baby starts standing and walking. They will straighten out once weight is consistently put on them. Only in rare cases do they not straighten out, which is normally from some other problem, and can be fixed with medical devices.
Yes, it is quite common. I agree with pp’s, however it can’t hurt to mention it to your doctor on his next check up if it will give you more peace of mind. I’m sure it is not a problem though.
