Someone brings up my 14 month old's bowed legs Every.  Single.  Day.  He has the fattest legs I have ever seen and the most bowed legs I have ever seen.  It is more pronounced when he is wearing shoes (probably because we never actually made him wear shoes and now he is trying to figure out how to navigate with them).  Almost all babies have bowed legs until they are around 2 1/2 or 3 and then it goes the other way (they become knee-knocked).  The only concern about bowed legs is that your child may have a vitamin D deficiency  (rickets) or Blount's disease.  Both are not common.  I would take bub to the doctor to rule out both and then I wouldn't worry about anything. 

I agree with RadicalB,

Jedd's legs are bowed. At his last dr. visit (18months) I asked about it because it had not gone away. She watched him walk around the office, naked of course....so she could get a good look. She told me the name of what he has, it's really long and I cna't remember it...LOL

Anyways, the gist of the story is, as long as the kneecap points straight formward and is NOT bent the ankle will follow as the leg (shin) bone grows.

Since Jedd's knee is straight, his ankle bone in time will correct itself.

That said, I would have the DR. look at it to make sure. I had asked about Jedd's when he was tiny, I could tell. At that time he was soo little, that lots of kkids have bowed legs shrotly after they are born. Since it had persisted that's why I asked.

It def. doens't slow him donw any, that's for sure, he is all over the place....climbing onto eveything.

I will say, it made me feel much better to hear the ped. tell me he would be fine. LOL So ask for your peace of mind.

I would not be overly concerned. Children's legs don't actually start to straighten out properly until around 30 months (2 1/2). As toddler's they don't actually have knee caps until much older and its the knee cap that helps hold everything in place.

The legs will straighten and the bones harden as they get older (bones are very soft when young). Keep checking with your doctor, if you are really worried ask for a referral to a paediatrician.

Once kids are totally out of nappies you start to see a change.
