Hi i have a little girl, with mild club foot.. Her treatment was at 3 weeks old. a cast for 5 weeks then the shoes with bar inbetween then 23 hours a day till today.. Big day oddly emotional in way you feel other people will see as being silly, over the top.. She now wears it 4 12 hours of the day till she is 7.. She had no op her foot responded 2 casts.. But im yet 2 find a case like hers, her heal pad is not yet formed an still squishy.. She is 6 months tomorrow i have many months of worry before i no if this will hold her back from walking, will she need an op later.. thanks for reading all fedback greatfully recieved..

If a child is born with club feet is it considered a disability? Do you know if the state has assistance programs to correct club feet if your not financially able to pay for the correction of club feet?
