| Sorry Alison I do not know of anyone who is having the treatment your daughter is having but I'm sure everything will work out well. The best person to ask is your consultant. Good Luck. |

| You wear the boots 24hrs for 3 months, then they wear them only when they are sleeping up to the age of 4yrs. Perservence is the only key. I know sometimes it seems very hard & impossible but it does become easier as it just becomes part of your bedtime routine. I can tell you its worth it. Our son Cameron is now 4 1-5yrs old and attending school & we are so proud of him when we see him running about like any other child. Stick in there |

| My 3 mo old son was born with a club foot (right) and was plaster casted from the age of 3 wks. He wore a cast for 6 wks and also had his heel clipped. He is now in the Denis Brown shoes and it's been 2 wks and i'm having a hard time with him getting used to them. Is anyone aware of how long the shoes are worn on an all day basis? I know at night it can be up to 4-5 yrs. |

| My daughter is 5 weeks old and was born with bilateral talipes. She has been having manipulations since she was 5 days old. She is being treated at Yorkhill but instead of plaster casts her feet are put on to metal plates which are screwed on to a metal bar - looks kind of similar to the boots and bar method I have seen on the Ponseti websites. Treatment is going really well so far but I was wondering if you knew of anyone else who has had the metal bar instead of the plaster casts ? We will find out soon if she will need the tendon snip and will hopefully not have too much longer to go before she goes in to boots. |

| Cameron always had a problem with his left foot, it took longer to correct itself but it eventually turned just as well as the right one. He always managed to get his left boot off but fingers crossed everything is ok now. Keep focused. |

| My son who is now 8 months old is doing a lot better about keeping his shoes on all night. The one thing that we have done after putting his shoes on is to use an Ace bandages to wrap around the top of his ankles and around the bottom of his feet. This has worked great for us. Hope this helps someelse. His feet are making a great improvement. Thanks to God and many prayers. |

| my son was born w/bilaterial club feet. he also got his tendons cut but the left foot did not pop up like the doctor would have liked. he now has the posetti shoes but only has the right one on .the doctor is having another boot-shoe made i am not sure exactly because the left one kept popping off because his foot was still in a ballerina position. i am hoping this will work..... |

| Cameron kept his boot on untill the age of 4. We were going on holiday abroad for the first time so we potty trained Cameron when he was about 2 & we had no problems. Any more questions please email me. Thanks Diane |

| In response to comment by R. Roell do you have an email address. Cameron slept in our room next to our bed so we were always aware of when his boots came off & we just put them back on again. Unfortunately this could happen about 6 times a night. The only thing that did help was Yorkhill putting heel grips on the back of his boots we found this helped. We also bought our own laces which were much longer & we could tie them tighter. Funny enough it was always his left boot that he managed to get off. If you want any more advice or want to ask any more questions dont hesitate to email me. Thanks Diane |

| Our son is going through the exact same thing. He is 6 months old and kicks his shoes off quite often. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on keeping his shoes on. We check on him at night before we goto bed and make sure they are on but, in the morning he at least one foot out, if not both. Are there any special socks, or padding we can put into his shoes? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
