Development of Children’s feet

• At 6mths of age the foot is still mostly cartilage
• The final bone in the foot does not start to form from cartilage until 3yrs
• By 18yrs (an adult) most bones in the body are fully formed
• A child’s foot is flexible, therefore easily damaged from abnormal pressure
• Shoes that are too small can damage a child’s foot

Children’s feet are fragile and need taken cared of. Not sure of what to do to keep your child’s feet development flawless, see a podiatry in North Sydney.
