risks bowlng them in or out.
If a child is normal and healthy

walking. it will master the art and

But what can interfere with
child's graceful walk are shoes and
socks. Too short or too pointed. they
prevent feet from developing prop

wear should at all times bc square

choose shoes of the moccasin type

Problem number one is baby's head.
That wonderfully soft little skull is as

baby frequently from side to side.
Moreover, since baby can turn its

light and movement, lay it down one
time with the little head toward the
headboard; the next time with the
head toward the footboard. This will
prevent baby's turning always in
