If he has one leg (or both) that are at funny angles he
probably has splayed legs. If you catch this early it is
fixable. I posted a link below, but I have not read the whole
page so I would do a search for splayed legs and read up on
it. This post is just to get you started. There are some
diagrams that show you what it looks like. I believe he will
have to be handfed to fix the problem unless you have very
cooperative parents, I could be wrong though as I've never
dealth with this problem. I wish you and the little one all
the luck.
