Re: Advice for 6 month old with swollen B/1st toes
Could the baby be kicking something regularly - ie. crib side, or are they in a baby-bouncer and constantly bouncing on the floor with pointed toes? If not, then I would have gone with your baby grow theory too. Can't say I've ever seen anything like this in a baby though.

Re: Advice for 6 month old with swollen B/1st toes
Have had a couple of kids over the years with IGTN/redness. Have usually found it to be the pressure of the soft shoes in winter or tightness of cheap growsuits. The cheaper they are the smaller the foot size of the grow suit tends to be. I generally get mum's to cut off the feet (of the grow suit) if it still fits the babe and the problem goes away.
I work in a very low socioeconomic area so these are often the only clothing that a baby has.
Good call by you!
