Q:My son has just started walking and seems to turn his toes in.Should I do something about this?

A:It's fairly common for infants to turn in one or both feet when they start walking,which makes an already wobbly toddler even unsteadier.Give your tot plenty of opportunity to run round barefoot,as this will allow his feet and toes to develop and strengthen without restriction.Make a game of tickling your tot's feet to encourage him to stretch the muscles.
   Every six weeks,get his feet measured to ensure his shoes are the right size,as growing bones can be damaged by ill-fitting shoes.Remember to check sock size too,and make sure sleepsuits don't restrict his toes.Next time you're at your doctors get an opinion on your little one's feet.Most children grow out of this by the time they're 5 or 6,so it shouldn't be a worry.
