I wish I could give you a lot of great advice but my Evan didn’t have these boots as he was treated old methods including surgery that are no longer used. Other parent have mentioned that their children get used to wearing the dbb in time. It is so important that they be kept on!
There is a newer type of brace and I hear it is easier for compliance as it allows the baby to have more range of motion – The Ponseti Brace. Look on YouTube for videos I’m sure I’ve seen some.
