A member asked:

Do the legs and hips go back to normal in children born in the breech position?

8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Breech: Yes they do. It can take a few days to a week to appear normal, but this will happen.

Yes : Most breech babies maintain their in-utero pose for only a short while. Enjoy the easier diapering position & your pediatrician will make sure your baby has normal hips & joints before you go home.
