I won't say talipes is nothing because it's time-consuming and somewhat painful to correct.

But with modern casting techniques Baby will be fine and will dance beautifully at her own wedding. And the clothing issue is not that big a deal, it'll work out.

Thanks for your input. My daughter’s husband was born with severe club foot. That was almost 40 years ago and things have changed dramatically since then. The orthopedic surgeon ,who will care for the baby, interned under the Dr. who treated my son-in-law. He was so encouraging. My daughter’s thinking is that in the scheme of things this is a minor glitch. Her best friend has a 2 year old who was born with a very rare chromosomal defect and every day is a struggle. She has no idea what the future holds for this little girl.
