My son got bowed legs is that normal?? he is 14 months old
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If his sleeping position is on his belly and he is drawing his legs underneath him, this may be positional. When your doctor looks at his legs a line through the kneecap should fall straight down between his 1st and 2nd toes. Nutritional deficiencies notably vitamin D or metabolic problems that lead to this May also cause bowing. Have him examined to see if this is normal for him and his age.
