Arm preference at 3 months...

in Parenting after a Loss
M has started "playing" more on the play mat these past couple of weeks and I noticed that he always waves around his left arm and his right just stays by his side. He doesn't use it at all. But when I put something against his right hand he will grasp it, and he waves both arms around when sitting in a lap, in the high chair, or whatever. My question to all of you is, would you just wait and see if he starts using it to play, is this normal, or is this something you would call the dr. about? And does anyone else have any experience with this? Thanks. :-) I refuse to look it up on Dr. Google and freak myself out...

    My ds has had a preference for his right from early on. Not as pronounced as what you described though.

    Couldn't hurt to mention it to the pedi. Most likely it's nothing, kids are quirky sometimes, but if it is an issue it's better to add

    Thank you! I was definitely going to mention it to the pedi at his 4 month wellness, but wanted to make sure it wasn't something I should call about earlier. Like I mentioned, he does use it at other times, it's just odd seeing him only using the one ar

    Is he turning his head both ways? When he's on tummy time does he look both ways? DD1 had an issue favoring one side, but she had pretty severe torticollis. She was always, very noticeably turned to one side. I think you would've noticed that by now if th
