Hi ladies,
I'm popping in hoping for advice or reassurance for my 2 year old.
When she was born I remember her baby notes mentioning Talipes. I was told it was nothing to worry about and it would be reviewed at her 6 week check.
When she was signed off by the peadiatrician at 6 weeks he said it's common and will resolve as she grows.
I have taken her back a number of times as her feet just don't look right - the GP always noting in her red book a review for "intoeing gait" no mention of talipes or clubfoot. I was shown by her doctor to do simple exercises which seemed to help for a while but now she has started tripping and falling a lot and seems to drag her feet at times.
Her childminder expressed concern about the way she walks so I made an appointment for yesterday and saw her peadiatrician again (she's due for review in March but I didn't want to wait that long, especially after she tripped over her own foot last week and fell head first into a table!)
I took my dad with me as I had a feeling I was being fobbed off everytime!
He looked at her feet (stripped her off for the 1st time! although didn't ask to see her walk
) and manipulated her legs etc. He has reffered her for physio so now we are waiting for an appointment.
She can walk, run (kind of!) and jump so it's not totally limiting for her but if she does have clubfoot it's worrying me that she should have already at treatment?
She is now 27 months.
