Bowing of legs is quite common in younger children and it corrects itself with growth. In toeing s also common in this age group. If bowing is not getting reduced even after 2.5 years or so then it should be investigated for. Just make sure that your child should have adequate exposure of sunlight and she should not be overweight. At this point of time no special medication is required.
