Sadly to say, Ern has a flat foot :-( I don't know what is the right word to describe her feet but I guess the picture above speak for itself.
When she started to walk around 1yo, we already noticed this. However, PD said it's common to see toddler walk that way (like a duck) because they are learning to balance themselves. As the days go by, we are still seeing the same thing.
Until she turned 2, we got her PD to check again and confirmed, she has a flat foot. To our surprise, PD has no concern because she told us she is one of them also!!!! She recommended us to get a good shoes that come with good insole support for Ern. She recommended a brand but we recognized the good insole support only available for adult shoes. In the end, we decided to get her orthotic insole from Formthotics while still getting her pair of shoes from the brand recommended by PD. Both cost us ~ RM400!! We have heard customized insole can easily come in thousands.
Maybe should take Ern to see PD again to see if there is a need to see an orthopedic on her feet development.
