Baby and Bebax Bootie

Princess had her cast cut off, which completely terrified her. The doctor decided that her foot had improved enough to try wearing a "Bebax Bootie" instead of a cast. Hooray!

The Bebax Bootie is a torture device as well, but at least it can be removed so she can have a bath. Also, she only has to wear it at night - for the moment, anyway. We hope this will continue to help correct her foot so we don't have to do any more leg casts.

It's an interesting little device, with hardware on the bottom that adjusts to hold the curve at a certain angle. There are two velcro straps to hold it on... now, what child is going to leave velcro straps alone? As you can see here, she already tries to push it off with her other foot! It's only a matter of time `til she figures out how to remove it.

I am so glad Princess is out of the cast! What a relief for her, and you. You know, they should have those straps buttoned or something at the end so it takes a little longer for the kids to get them off. Good luck!

injy, I would say it is somewhat effective. We did not notice as much of a correction as we did with the casting, but our daughter was much more tolerant of it. Long-term consistency is the main thing.
