Normally, an infant is born with bowed legs. Over time, the leg alignment will correct and usually straightens out by about eighteen months of age. If the legs do not straighten out then this is due to a physical disease. Though it would be inadvisable to try to make a baby walk at 4 months as part of it's brain development is it's primary movements, going through the process of lying down, sitting up, crawling and then walking. If a child doesn't go through this process then they can develop dyslexia.

4 months is far too early to start even thinking about getting a baby to walk!!!! If the baby is crawling well around 12 months you can gently start to encourage it to get up on its feet.
