Bow-legged?

Forgive me if this is stupid but I can't remember. DS is still bowlegged. When he walks it's pretty prominent and his feet turn in just slightly. I *think* I remember it being normal with my DD, but I can't remember.

Anyone else have a bowlegged kid? Is this normal? I forgot to ask at his 1yr appt.

It's normal.  Their legs straighten out and then go bow-legged again when they start walking. They won't straighten out again until they are 2-3 per the pedi.

Yep. I can already tell a huge difference from when he started walking though.

My son was SO bowlegged.  I was really worried about it so I brought him to an ortho specialist.  She told me that almost all kids legs straighten out by the time they turn 3.  He is now 3 and he looks totally fine!
