Hi,
By what you say I feel that your kid is having congenital talipes equinovalgus. This is called a valgus deformity of grate toes and ankle joint and this might require a surgical correction by an orthopedic surgeon. I suggest you to approach an orthopedic surgeon who is trained in pediatric orthopedics regarding this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
