Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Leg kicks

Hello All!

My baby is 21 weeks and is constantly kicking her legs all day! She has been doing it for a few days now, its very amusing.. it happened the same week she discovered her feet and started grabbing them and putting them in her mouth. The kicking has been happening for the majority of the day.. shes been also harder to put to sleep because it seems shes more hyper and literally kicks until she falls asleep.

 I was curious if this is normal with most babies?  Is this growing pains or just a new exciting discovery?

  • These little legs kicks are hilarious. I love them. Pretty sure its just excitement. My LO does it all the time as well.

  • Thanks everyone!
  • She does this all the time and will set off the baby monitor constantly.  She likes to lift her legs in the air and then drop them.  She is quiet when she does it so it surprises you when the baby monitor suddenly goes off from her feet hitting

  • My little man has been kicking like crazy since almost the beginning. He just grabbed his feet for the first time last week and around the same time he started kicking more during nursing. At night I nurse him while laying down so he is kicking my stomach
