Warning signs you should be aware of!

Warning signs you should look out for regarding your baby's feet in the first few months of life!

“ In the first year, feet grow very quickly and it is one of the most important periods in their development. Therefore, it is important to take some factors into account. ”

It is common for a child to “ start walking on tiptoe , however, if this persists over time (after 2-3 years of age), it is not normal .”

" Irregularities in the way you walk, such as tiptoeing, having flat feet, etc., can cause problems in adulthood or even as a child or teenager: bunions, claw toes, knee and spine problems, etc."

Since not all children verbalize the discomfort or pain they may feel, parents should pay attention to signs such as:

1 - “Strange” way of walking – out of the ordinary;

2 – Claudication – Simply put, it is a medical term used when one foot or leg is unsteady, whether due to pain, discomfort, numbness or tiredness. It is an abnormal gait caused by the narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the legs and spine. To find out why it happens, you should investigate the child’s age, how long it has been developing, how it started, associated symptoms, etc.

3- Frequent tripping ;

4 - Insistence on taking off shoes;

5 - Excessive or asymmetrical wear on the sole of the shoe.
