The baby's calf is not straight, a bit of O-shaped legs, how to treat

Patient's question:

A child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask how to treat the baby's legs that are not straight, a bit of O-shaped legs.

Doctor's answer:

This is bowlegs, which should not be hereditary. When babies are born, their bones are very soft, just like eggshells inside a chicken's belly, which become hard after birth. The same applies to babies' bones.
In the womb, babies are in a "cross-legged" position, so their lower legs are naturally bent. For two-month-old babies, slight outward bending of the lower limbs is normal. It's important to regularly check for calcium deficiency and supplement appropriately.
