What to do for DS who toes in when walking

since my 20 mo DS started walking, people have been telling me that he toes in. I never saw it as being real bad until yesterday. I finally realized its pretty bad! my dh toes in also, and he wore orthotics when he was young because of it. what type of dr should I bring him to? my regular pediatrician? my dh said he didnt wear orthotics until he was a drop older, maybe 3 or 4. I thought its better to try to correct it asap. anyone have any experience? tia

it's called Pigeon toed & I have it. my ds has feet probs as well & you need to take him to a pediatric podiatrist, but you prob have to go to a reg Dr. 1st to get a referral. The earlier the better w/ these types of things, but you don't need to freak out cuz these things are not so urgent. Good luck!

thank you! im not freaking out at all, I just figured I should probably try to take care of it asap
