Smiling Baby Born With Clubfoot Celebrates Amazing Progress In Adorable Photo

A baby whose parents feared she may never be able to walk has hugely surpassed expectations after pioneering treatment. 14-week-old Rosie will now be able to take her first step when she's older, after getting her foot-straightening casts off. Mum Lauren and Jamie, 22, were left feeling stressed after discovering their second child had a clubfoot during a scan. The couple knew very little about the condition - and have decided to speak out to reassure other parents in the same situation. After months of hard work, Rosie is now on track to follow in the footsteps of older sister Gracie, two.

Lauren, a healthcare assistant, from Wrexham, North Wales, said: "I'm so proud of how far Rosie has come. "It's important that others know about clubfoot because when it was discovered that Rosie had it in my scan, I didn't have a clue what it was. "I didn't expect it to happen to me. It can be genetic but there's no sign that this is the case. "I just want to show other parents that it's nothing to worry about because Rosie has managed to quickly take the steps to recover. "My partner, Jamie, and I always say to each other that we're quite young to have had this pressure on us - it was a lot for us to deal with.

"I had such a normal pregnancy with our first child, Gracie, so when I was hit with the news about Rosie it was so out of the blue. "I was on my own for the scans because of Covid so it was hard to process on my own. I was told that she might never be able to walk if the treatment wasn't a success. "But she's an amazing little girl and is absolutely smashing it after getting her casts off." Lauren found out Rosie had Bilateral Talipes (clubfoot) during her 20-week scan. And 11 days after she was born, the tot's legs were put into casts to help straighten them out.
