Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I am the parent of Zevi Gersten now 3 1/2. He was a Ponseti baby starting at week 2. He had a very extreme case of club feet. But the good Dr. was able to help him with 5 casts. We were very diligent parents. In his first 3 years of life we missed putting on the shoes 3-4 nights. Well at age 3 1/4 we started getting sloppy. After all we were past 3 years and his feet looked perfect. 1 1/2 months later we notice his feet turning in ever so slightly. We started to put the shoes back on. So today we were back at the Dr.'s office. He said the turning is for 2 reasons, one because his case was so severe and 2 because we took the shoes off early. Now we are looking at at least another 6 months in the shoes. So learn from us please. No matter how straight his feet look do not get sloppy. Do not miss one night and keep putting those shoes on till the DR. says it is okay to stop.
