“At the age of 10-12 months when a child begins to walk, the bones of the foot are only partially ossified, are in reality but an orderly arrangement of cartilaginous masses.” - Functional Disorders of the Foot by Frank D. Dickinson, MD 🦶🏽

The implications of this are that little feet are extremely malleable, and will adapt to whatever environment they are put in. We want our children to grow up with natural shaped feet, not shoe-shaped feet. Keep those little paws out of shoes as long as possible. 🐾

We finally had some lovely weather this week, so we managed to go out and enjoy as much as we could, we went for a lovely walk then onto the park. Little ones exploring mark making with the chalk, some quiet time with books. We also made some sun-dried tomato and cheese bread last week and spiced pumpkin seeds.
