Hi ladies,
How often does your 6-9 month old make a fist with their hands? My little guy has some issues (torticollis, very low weight gain, acid reflux, major issues with eating solids, etc) so I am getting more and more concerned. I have read online that an infant keeping its hands fisted can be a warning sign. My little guy doesn't have any issues opening or closing his hands, he uses both of them and he's always reaching for things, playing with toys...he doesn't exhibit any issues. But sometimes when he's not doing anything with his hands, he's making a fist. He's 8 months and other than the issues mentioned above, he seems to be developing normally (soooo close to crawling but not there yet), smiles, loves peek a boo, hugs, babbles (da, ba, ma, etc), sleeps well (although separation anxiety seems to be hitting), has two teeth already, can hold his own bottle and feed himself (experiementing with sippy cups right now).....
Thoughts? Does your little one still keeps his hands fisted at times?
Thank you!
Re: hands in fists?
DD has her hands in fist a lot, when she's uneasy and not relaxed. She's got her arms up and fist in the tub, in the stroller, swimming for the first minute or so.
What is fists supposed to be a warning sign for?!
