Most babies will develop O-shaped legs after birth, which are influenced by genetic factors, and some babies are also caused by riding a walker after birth. After a baby develops O-shaped legs, parents are most concerned about whether they can correct the O-shaped legs. So, what about the baby's 19 month old O-shaped legs?
What should I do with my baby's 19 month old O-shaped legs
A 19 month old baby with O-shaped legs can go to the hospital for correction, and can still recover after correction. Some babies may have O-shaped legs when walking due to their short legs, but when they can support their weight, their legs will gradually straighten out.
What are the hazards of baby's O-shaped legs
1. The appearance of O-shaped legs in babies can affect their appearance, as the gap between the two legs becomes larger and visually unappealing. In addition, babies with O-shaped legs may walk differently from normal people, with abnormal and strange movements. Some people may unconsciously sway their upper body while walking, resembling penguins.
2. If a baby has O-shaped legs, it is easy to develop osteoarthritis because excessive body weight is concentrated in one area, and excessive friction causes wear on the knees, leading to the occurrence of arthritis.
In general, if a baby has O-shaped legs, parents should take the baby to the hospital for correction in a timely manner to avoid affecting the baby's future growth and even affecting their health.
