Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. In the initial stages of child's walking development period, because of the body weight, the legs do bend a little bit outwards and that is natural. As I already suggested, this is due to the body weight. Leg bones and muslces needs to be strengthned in order to carry the body weight. The more your child walks, the muslces and bones become strengthned. For confirmation of the facts, you may consult a child specialist. Continue massaging the whole body especially hands and legs with coconut oil,, which has more penetrative and lubricating effect.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Please feel free to post follow up queries. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
