Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 I know you are looking forward to part-time! went bare foot all of the time until he got old enough he wanted to be standing when we were out in public. Then we went and bought his first pair of shoes. He only wears those when we go out. He even tries to pull his socks off all of the time. He likes those tootsies bare! We've had to be careful barefoot crawling though because we have berber carpet and because of the overcorrection , the top outside of his big toes takes a lot of rubbing with crawling and one day he rubbed blisters on both toes. He walks 80% of the time now though so we don't have to keep putting his socks on every 10 minutes after he pulls them off! Pam and (8-12-01) > Hi everyone!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Rita, I seem to have missed your post until I saw a reply to it. Anyway, Jakob was about 4 1/2 months old when we started decreasing his time in the DBB (we did not go straight from full time to part time in it). Since it was late June, when we took the brace off, Jakob didn't wear any shoes (or socks for that matter). That fall, I would put the soft soled " crib shoes " mainly to keep his socks on when we went out. I bought rubber soled shoes later that winter after we lost the bootie end off his snowsuit and wanted heavier shoes for when we went out. At home, Jakob still doesn't wear shoes much. I hope that helps at least a little. ritadeane wrote: > Hi everyone! Gavin is nearing the 3 month mark in his DBB/FAB, and > although we still have a few weeks to go, I was wondering...

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 Rita, Our daughter most often went bare foot whenever possible. I put shoes on her to go out, but as soon as we were home, the shoes came off. I think that walking barefoot helps develop and strengthen their feet (all babies, not just clubfoot babies.) is now 2 1/2 and it's funny, as soon as we come home, she throws the shoes and socks off and goes running. Even in the backyard, I send her out with tennis shoes on and two minutes later, she's barefoot! When she does wear shoes, I love the Nike Tennis shoes the best, she wears that pair of shoes the most. I have also found that Buster Brown makes a nice, sturdy, supportive shoe also. I like to buy her those when I am looking for her dress shoes. Holly and 24/7 almost done... >Hi everyone!

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2002 Report Share Posted September 22, 2002 Zoe's doc says barefoot is best. Otherwise, cheap, flexible shoes. When we come into the house, we remove our shoes anyway (for comfort, not cleanliness!), so indoors she's usually barefoot. Also in the car. When we get where we're going, I put her shoes on. I used to let her go barefoot or sockfooted in carpeted public places, but you wouldn't believe how dirty her feet were! Even in doctors' offices and the library! The other night we walked to Target and Zoe wanted to get out of her stroller in a big way, but we had forgotten her shoes. We let her walk around barefoot, and her feet were not dirty at all. (We were going to have a bath when we got home, so we weren't too concerned about them getting dirty.) She had a ball. We love Target's shoes (and everything else). Joanne W.
