Bowlegs happen at birth. The soles of the child's feet point towards each other with space between knee joints. Bowlegs are sometimes corrected naturally in the child's first year. Knee joints grow closer together and bones straighten as they become harder during the transformation from cartilage to bone. Vitamin D and splints are some nonsurgical treatments for bowlegs.
