My daughter is having club foot
My baby is two months old and she was born with club foot for right foot ... with 6 plasters her foot is now in correct position but doc suggested that she has to wear a shoe for 24 hours so that foot position should not change . Is there any other procedure other than wearing that pair of shoes which she has to wear max for 5 years ?

Wearing shoes is a must .but can be removed for a while
Another idea for big kids is to wear shoes in opposite legs.i.e.right shoe in left n left show in rite.just a crude method it is.
Afos are compulsory otherwise
