That's normal. Babies' bones aren't fully developed, especially in the foot. Their feet start off as just spongy cartilage, probably why they are so chunky. And then it later ossifies into 26 bones and 33 joints, which is what adults have. But it takes until 18 months for all that to happen. Lots going on in that little foot.

Normal; babies have chubby feet.

Looks very normal. That’s just the baby squidge.🥰

That's pretty interesting so many women say this is normal. I've personally never seen a baby's foot that chunky before, but all 4 of my kids were super tiny 6 pounders, so maybe their weight makes a big difference.

My kids both had chubby feet and my siblings did, too, when they were this age

My baby has chunky feet! ❤️
