this is him a few hours old - you can see a nail imprint on his shin as his feet were squashed into his legs. we saw them on the scans before he was born and never imagined they would correct themselves.

My daughter has one club foot and one not. The only problem it brings us (since she can't walk anyway due to her Spina Bifida) is that one of her feet is a size bigger than the other.

Hope they can fix it - normally it is perfectly treatable.

Though I come and update you all on this...... We had our newborn on the 17th April naming Chloe Louise.... She had the club feet as we expected so she went into casting from 10 days old and was in them for 3 weeks before being moved onto the bar in which she is in now. We go back to hosp in 2 weeks time in which we believe will be when she be able to be bar free during day just wear them at bed time. We have been told her feet are doing smashing and turning very well indeed.

Oh she was born already?! I have been away from here for ages! Glad everything is ok and the treatment is underway. The casts and bar always look so mean but they don't know any better do they and they are sure worth it in the end! I have seen some amazing results before!

Hi Andy,

Congratulations & I am Really glad that Chloe is doing well with her treatment. The 3 months in boots and bar is tough isnt it? but it goes so quickly. I bet you cant wait until its night time and naps only. We found it alot easier after this stage.

Did she have to have the tenotomy?

How is she coping with it all? I hope she has settled well into the B&B.

Take care and keep us updated on little Chloe
