Some tips from Stride Rite and the American Podiatric Medical Association include:

Have your child's feet measured every 2-3 months until toddler years, then every 3-4 months.
Make sure the shoe isn't too heavy. A heavy shoe can make your child walk irregularly, preventing the development of a normal walking pattern.
