Patience: Early walkers just need time for their body to sort out the issue of initial foot direction that reflect positioning in the womb. Over time this generally sorts itself out. The kids doc can decide if any other steps would be needed.

See her doctor.: She should followup with her daughter's doctor and/or with a pediatric orthopedist. It is very common for one or both feet of a toddler to turn in. This usually gets better without treatment, but she should still be examined to determine this.

In-toeing : This is common for this again for feet to turn in with walking. If the feet at straight and there is not a family history of pigeon-toes, she will out grow this. The two common causes are tibial torsion and femoral anteversion. This is a toddler that is new to walking and with time should correct themselves. It is good to have regular well checks as this is one of the subjects needing discussion
