Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hi , Boy do I know what you mean about motherly Instincts!! I too have been seeing problems, as you might have seen in my postings about my son Kris who is 22 mo. and I have been having problems with the front of his feet turning what looks like inward...or intoeing(?) I sent pictures of his feet to Dr. Ponseti, and he recommended my son be recasted for it. I posted his e-mail a few days ago, if you want I can e-mail you the response. Also, I have pictures of my sons feet if you want to see them. Do you have pictures of your baby's feet? I would love to see some:) maybe you too should send photo's to Dr. Ponseti, and see what he see's? Aloha, Carole Relapse question > My son, Mo, is 11 months old.
