Just wanted to post good news because when I was starting out I desperately needed positive stories!
Our little girl had her final cast removed today after 6 weeks of Ponseti. Her foot looks AMAZING. The consultant is really pleased and we're moving to boots and bar next week.
To anyone starting out - hang in there. The weeks feel long but looking back it went fast. The casting works. Trust the process ππ¦Ά
Happy to answer any questions!

Amazing news!! π₯³ Our journey was similar - 6 casts at the Royal Manchester. For boots and bar my top tip is start them immediately. Don't wait. The sooner baby gets used to them the better.
You've got this! π
