Bowed Legs Among Newborns

They usually correct themselves

(HealthDayNews) -- Newborn infants often look like they have bowed legs, but according to Harvard Medical School, this is natural and usually corrects itself within a few weeks. The bow-shape is due a baby's curled up position in the uterus.

That's also why some infants have turned-in feet and turned-in toes.

If you can move your baby's feet into a normal position with your hands, these conditions are likely to correct themselves.
