Why are you still waiting for? My son got the same thing on his right foot only. We have started the treatment when he was 10 days old. He was in plaster for 6 weeks after that a minor surgery called Achilles tenotomy and then he should be in special boots and bars for 3 mos. He is 5.5 mos old now. His foot looks very normal now. This club foot gett worsens if you making delay.the above method is called ponseti method.consult with the ortho paed before that.
