Some amount of bowing is natural in babies under 2 years of age. To actually diagnose rickets U need to have done an X-ray atleast if not the blood test.
It would be a mistake to expect immediate improvement. It could take atleast a few weeks to a few months. You need to wait atleast 6 weeks to see some results
