[quote=Anonymous]Our DD only recently started walking on her feet at 17.5 months (she had been "walking" on her knees since 12 months but she's now finally getting around on her feet!). A physical therapist recommended night braces to correct DD's wide-stanced, slightly pigeon-toed walking, but our pediatrician disagrees saying that the studies indicate that night braces almost never correct the problem. The PT admits that this is what the studies show but she still thinks it's worth a shot because she has seen the braces actually help some kids. Does anyone have experience with using night braces on their kids? Was it successful? Was your child able to actually sleep in them? How long did your child have to wear them before you started seeing progress? Thanks so much for your help.[/quote]
