Every mother hopes that her baby can learn to walk early. It is very cute to see the baby walking unsteadily. However, teaching a baby to walk is not an easy task. For example, what should we do if some babies walk with their feet turned outward? How to correct it?

What to do if your baby walks with his feet turned outward

Wear cloth shoes

When young children first learn to walk, they should wear cloth shoes or rubber-soled shoes, and should not wear hard leather shoes too early.

Shoes should fit your feet

Young children should not wear shoes that are too big. They should wear shoes that fit their feet and not shoes that are too small. Children's feet grow quickly, so when buying shoes, just buy one size larger. Once the shoes are too big, they must be replaced and cannot be made-up.

But walk early

Don't let your child learn to walk too early. At the same time, give your child plenty of food rich in protein, calcium and vitamin D, and let your child get more sun exposure.

How to correct a baby's outward-facing gait

When babies first learn to walk, their heads lean forward, and in order to maintain balance, their feet will naturally point inward. Therefore, many babies walk awkwardly because they learn to walk and stand too early. But don't worry, this walking posture will change around the age of 3.

Calcium deficiency can also lead to ugly leg shape when walking. You can supplement calcium, vitamin D and get more sun. Pay attention to your diet, add egg yolk, animal liver, vegetables and fruits rich in calcium and phosphorus. Jujube and hawthorn are high in calcium, and oranges and bananas are rich in phosphorus.

You can alternate the baby's left and right shoes. Generally, you can see the effect after about 2 weeks.

Mom and dad should try to take their baby for a walk as often as possible and correct their baby's walking posture. Once the baby learns to walk on his own, he will naturally stop walking with his feet turned outward.

Things you must never do: Don't imitate your baby's way of walking with his feet turned outward or hit, scold, or laugh at him. This will make your baby feel inferior and shy. You can just say this occasionally in normal times, and your baby will take it to heart.
