Your baby's casting journey is about to begin.

Maybe you've just left your first appointment with a head full of information and no idea where to start. Maybe you're still pregnant and trying to prepare for what's ahead. Either way, you're here - and that's exactly the right place to be.

The casting phase is the heart of clubfoot treatment. It's where the real work happens - gently, week by week, your baby's foot is guided into the correct position. But nobody really tells you what it's actually like. The weight of the casts. Bath time logistics (you can't get the casts wet!). What to do when the toes look different...How to dress a newborn in long-leg plasters in the middle of summer.

This guide does.

Written by a clubfoot parent who has lived every single cast change, The Casting Stage Guide is your honest, practical, in-depth companion - from your baby's very first cast all the way through to the final one.

Imagine Feeling...
✓ Prepared for exactly what happens at each casting appointment
✓ Confident you know what to watch for at home
✓ Calm in knowing when to call your team - and when to go to emergency
✓ Equipped with clothing, sleeping, and feeding hacks that actually work
✓ Ready for the tenotomy, so nothing catches you off guard
✓ Supported by a guide written by a parent who has been right where you are

That's exactly what this guide was created to help you feel.
