Club foot is : A congenital problem meaning that one is born with it if a child does not have it now then they will not develop it, talk to your pediatrician and if need be see a pediatric orthopedic surgeon for reassurance.

Club foot: There is a genetic link to club foot that researchers have now found in many cases. Some patients will get club foot due to other factors, I have even seen trauma cause a club foot. Ultrasounds will now detect it in the womb... so if your baby is 6mo old she should be fine! Best wishes!
