Im a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon. Bow legs at 13 mònths is a normal physiological finding and needs no traetment. And just a close follow up. It usually corrects by 3 years of age.
Only thing is to keep the diet good. Milk and milk products and protein rich diet to maintain healthy bone so that no deficiency occours.
If there is wrist or ankle swelling then go for investigation for rickets.
Thanks.
