Baby leg posture
My baby going to be 18 months old was born prematurely. He started walking when he was 15-16 months.He also sits in w position. His legs are not straight and I had given leg exercise from the day when he was brought home. When consulted with physiotherapist she told to continue leg exercise. He is very lean.His legs are bow shaped.Will this get better with exercise?

You can review with the pediatrician, if the vitamin D calcium and serum Alkaline phosphatase tests are done along with an x-ray of the legs this will reveal if there is any problem, talk to your pediatrician
