Question 2

cause of toes turning blacked?

Accepted Answer

Nails or toes?: If you mean the toes themselves, this is a little worrisome.  Usually the skin will turn black if there is tissue death--necrosis--of the skin.  This can happen if blood vessels are damaged or inflamed.  Sometimes, blood under the skin can cause this appearance as well.  If you mean the nails, that can be a sign that a mold has gotten under the nails.  Either way, i recommend a doctor visit.

Question 3

what causes babies to be born pigen toed?

Accepted Answer

Hips ; Knees loose: Most of the time it's not actually the feet/toes, but normal inturning at the hips and knees. The babies ligaments have been stretched and cramped in the uterus, and also have been under the influence of maternal hormones designed to relax mom's pelvic ligaments in preparation for delivery.
