Idk . Just

Yes. But it’s normal for some babies to be a little bow legged (due to how they were in the womb) and they usually grow out of it by the time they start walking.

that’s normal for a 5 week old. they are still growing & developing, it’ll probably look like that till they start walking.

I think this is normal

Totally normal xx

Babies have no kneecaps, their hips are developed like ours yet. Their legs are bent to curl up in our bellies, until they grow and start walking their legs are a bit curved. My daughters were curved and when she walked they straightened in no time. My son is the same at 11 weeks old xx

yep. my 7 month old still has her legs like that she has an appointment set up with an orthopedic specialist after she’s a year old. her bow legs are getting a wholeeee lot better though.

All babies are bowlegged. They straight out with age usually. It’s way too early at 5 weeks to know whether that will be an issue later on. My son was bowlegged at a year when he started walking and he’s been wearing a corrective brace for almost a year now and it has helped.

No. My girls legs were worse than that at 5 weeks and now at 7 months she has fully straightened out. You won’t be able to tell until baby is older

No. Their legs usually look like that when they are newborn. They improve afterwards.

Thankyou I didn’t know

No! it looks like baby is very young. Their legs are like that because of the little room inside our bellies. They will change.

Majority of babies are bow legged . My baby is 4 months and she’s bow legged doctor said it was normal and she’ll grow out of it .

No that’s completely normal x
