      Hi Elizabeth,

      Don’t worry about her not walking yet. Evan didn’t walk until 19months. Evan didn’t have the Ponseti method and didn’t have the bars… his feet would be much better if he did. Here is what I’ve read about the Ponseti brace….

      “The real challenge of the Ponseti Method begins when casting ends. Children must wear a brace locking their feet in place 23 hours a day.
      After three months, the time required begins to drop incrementally until age 4 or 5 when, according to Dr. Ponseti, the gene that causes club
      feet is no longer active.”
