The worried mum-of-one shared the update on Ronnie with her Facebook followers and asked for “advice”.

Katie explained how Ronnie was referred for a hip scan when he was six weeks old.

She was then told to put him in two nappies to help correct a slightly displaced hip. Katie says he was given the all-clear at a later appointment.

Katie, who gave birth to Ronnie in October 2024, explained: “When he started walking, we realised his leg was a bit turned out and he was walking a bit funny, so got in touch with the doctors to see if they could refer him back.

“When he had his second scan, they said if we think he has any issues when he’s older, we are more than welcome to take him back for another check.”

But she added: “That doctors we saw was awful and fobbed is right off. Everyone had even noticed it just by looking at it.

“When he’s just in a nappy, one of his legs is clearly longer than the other.”

Katie explained that Ronnie’s been given a six-month window to improve, otherwise he will be referred to Alder Hay children’s hospital in Liverpool.
