My baby's leg is not straight as normal.
Hello Doctor,
I am having some queries regarding my baby. She is 18 months old. Her weight is 12 -13 kg. She can walk properly but her legs are not straight as normal babies are having. I used to do massage with mustard oil and sometimes dabur Lal baby oil. Both the legs are bit curved outwards. Kindly suggest if anything can help my baby to strengthen her legs and straight as normal babies.
