Back arching

My DD does this alot which is of course normal and all babies do it.

But when she wakes up in the morning and I lay her on the changing table she starts crying and arching her back. Not as it "i have an attitude" arching. She is stretching and crying.. I don't know how to explain it.

She does this in the car too if she's in there for more than an hour.

So does she have back pain? Is she just uncomfy? I can lay her on the floor and she'll do it alone too while playing etc. It seems to be mroe after waking up in the morning or after sitting in a car for a bit longer...

Any ideas?

TIA

Re: Back arching

  • If you really think it's back pain, take her to a chiropractor.  DD has gone once a month since she was born.  My chiropractor treats children for free until they are 3 if he treats one of the parents. 

    Don't worry, children's adjustments are completely different than adult.  It's not scary for them or mommy.

  • i just notice my little girl doing the same thing. i think it might be because she is growing. she too does it out of no where when she is playing and when she is sitting in her car seat. but then when i do it to her she thinks its funny. doctor appointment coming up i guess.
