Maintaining and caring for a child’s feet will benefit their health, mobility and well-being throughout their entire lives
Many of the problems found in children’s feet are associated with growth and development as well as overuse, weight gain and postural changes. Some changes in children’s feet are part of natural development and others require professional attention and treatment. This section has been created to inform parents about what they should now BUT it also contains fun stuff and games for your children to help engaging them with theworld of podiatry.
Children Foot health
No other part of a newborn baby will create more cries of amazement than the tiny toes, scrunching up when tickled: baby’s foot is simply mapped out in soft, squidgy cartilage with no discernible arch. As the child grows this cartilage “ossifies” becoming more and more solid, all the time protected by a layer of subcutaneous tissue (that’s puppy fat to you and me). This explains why a baby’s foot is so cute and squishy, but also why it’s so vulnerable.
