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 πŸ’™πŸ¦Ά

Happy to answer any questions!

Boots and bar is a different challenge but you've proved you can handle anything. Welcome to the bracing club πŸ’™πŸ¦Ά

Amazing news!! πŸ₯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! πŸ’™
