Foot health in babies and toddlers: What you should know
The growth and development of our little ones is a miracle. Every aspect of their bodies is changing and developing, and that includes their feet. Today we want to take a look at foot health in babies and toddlers and explain why it's so important to focus on it.
The development of the feet
Your baby's feet begin as soft, flexible little paws. They are mostly made of cartilage, which only turns into bone over time.
In the early years, our children's feet are particularly sensitive. They develop rapidly and adapt to the growing weight and increasing activity of their wearer.
The importance of the right shoes
That's where we come in! At Puschies, we believe that protecting foot health is of utmost importance. Our shoes are designed to support the natural development of the feet.
They are lightweight, flexible, and allow the feet room to grow. They support the foot without constricting it, thus promoting healthy development of the muscles and bone structure.
Tips for healthy feet
-
Let your child walk barefoot as often as possible. This strengthens the muscles and promotes natural foot development.
-
Make sure you wear the right shoe size. Shoes that are too small can impair foot development and lead to long-term damage.
-
Use ergonomic shoes like our Puschies to support the natural movement of the foot.
Foot health is an important part of your child's overall health and well-being. Keep an eye on them and provide the right support.
