any parents have insight on club foot?

I know this is a pregnancy app, but most of us have had previous children and I am looking for some insight...
My mommy instinct says I should take my son (a month old) in for a check up as I think my son's feet bend inward slightly. Like if he were walking he would walk on the outside edges of his feet and his legs straight....Is it possible for club foot to correct itself as they get older or is a cast and possible surgery the only treatments. My fiance says that 'oh its my son, he will be fine and he's a tough boy. It will pass' (the typical superman manly attitude and nothing is ever a problem...eyeroll please...) he can like put this feet together bottoms flat together (almost like hands praying) and when I change his diaper and that his foot can bend and curl directly up and cover up his "stuff". I dont know if I am painting a picture for anyone or describing that properly...I dont know. Any mommies out there have a child diagnosed with this condition and what's your story?

Just bring it up to your pediatrician at his next visit. Babies normally have legs that curve inward for the first couple months of life because of how the grew and developed in the fetal position in the womb. But if your concerned it never hurts to ask ;)
