Babies with bent feet should be taken to an orthopaedist soon after birth.  It cannot be neglected at any cost. We can see some unfortunate lame people on the streets, who have been born with crooked feet and have unfortunately become lambs due to lack of proper treatment. Children who are born with bent feet need to do specific exercises regularly. In most cases, this problem gets resolved with proper exercise. But exercise has to be started immediately after the birth of the baby. If the problem does not resolve with exercise, then a special type of shoe is used to fix the feet. And if this process also does not work, surgery is the only option.

It is not any kind of infection or disease. When the baby stays in the mother’s womb, the feet somehow get twisted and take such a deformed shape. Parents should never feel guilty about this. Timely treatment can easily heal this problem.
