Most parents cannot wait for their baby to begin walking. The joy of seeing your baby take his first steps can quickly turn to concern if you believe your child is pigeon toed or has another foot problem. Foot doctors, or podiatrists, see many children each year because of parental concerns. Being familiar with common foot problems children face can help you decide if your child needs to see a foot doctor.When a child is pigeon toed, he walks with his toes turned in toward one another.
