A slight in-toeing gait can be common in toddlers and often self-corrects with growth. However, it’s important to rule out any underlying issues. A comprehensive evaluation by a pediatric orthopedic specialist is advisable.
If you're noticing your child's foot turning inward while walking, it's a good idea to consult a pediatrician. This can happen as children grow, but it's important to ensure proper development.
Next Steps
For personalized advice, consider booking a video consultation with me, where we can discuss your daughter’s walking pattern more thoroughly and determine the best course of action.
Health Tips
Early assessment can help address any concerns promptly.
