No I just prayed... it stayed that way for about 3 months after he was born... all I did was massage it like 5 times a day for about 5-10 minutes. Or if I was holding him I would hold his foot straight.

i don't but my step-son did. His mom told me that all you have to do to help fix it is tick le the outside of his foot 6-7 times a day which will help him turn it outward and get him those push carts. The ones the kids sit in and move around by pushing their feet. That'll also help them flatten their feet.
No surgery or anything was needed for Jacob. Now you can't even tell. he's 14 now.

My kids dont but I read an article about it in a magazie. They talked about how many 3rd world contries have it and in some it is quite a stigma. There was a docrot that created this remarkable cheap way to treat with casts and supports and these special leather shoes. Was a neat article. It was in Readers Digest I think.
