It is held together and supported by the ligaments. A babys foot is well padded with fat and is highly flexible. Many babies begin to walk anywhere between 8 and 18 months. But most are flatfooted when they first start taking their baby steps. Babies also tend to turn their feet inwards. Muscle strength and ligament stiffness need to develop.

Consult with your podiatrist or doctor if you have concerns about your childs feet or gait.
