Bow legs (or genu varum) is when the legs curve outward at the knees while the feet and ankles touch. Infants and toddlers often have bow legs. Sometimes, older kids do too.
Need not worry as It's rarely serious and usually goes away without treatment, often by the time a child is 3–4 years old ma..
The curve may be due to the position in the uterus. In this case the curve will disappear once baby walks.
It is better to do tests to rule out but D deficiency .
