My son has a slight bow foot, should I be worried?

I'm probably posting this the wrong place or probably not idk.
My son has a slight bow foot and he's 1&½ almost.
Should a slight bow foot concern me?
I remember my daughter when she was before 2 she also had it a bit and then grow it out.

The thing is my mom would often advice me to massage my son feet, I would massage his feet sometimes but I'm inconsistent. Lol


This might be tag in the wrong categories because of some of the words. But who cares.

My son had pigeon toes and slightly bowed legs when he was born. The pediatrician told me to stretch his legs straight as often as I could without hurting him. I did, and my sons legs are very straight today.

This has to be done when the infant is very small. It is possible you might still be able to stretch his foot, but his bones are a lot harder now.

@4meAndyou yes. My mom advice me something similar. Like holding his two feet together straight and massage it.

@SW-User Yes. Exactly. Not so it hurts him, but if you do the exercise frequently, it will train the bones in which way to grow.
