Babies: 3 - 6 Months

When you pick up your 3-4 month old-what do their legs do?

Do your LO's leg hang straight down when picked up under the armpits, do they pull their legs up, or something else?  Thanks.

 

Totally random, I know.

  • He usually raises his knees, sometimes he will kick.

  • He often kicks.  When he's just getting up from a nap they might hang for a couple of seconds before he kicks.  When he's awake & alert, he likes to kick.  A lot.

  • She'll keep them straight sometimes, and lately she's been pulling her knees up more often. But mostly I hold her facing away from me so she can see everything that's going on and she ends up sitting on my arm.

  • Sometimes his legs are strait and sometimes he bends his knees up. I remember reading something a couple weeks ago, that they're supposed to have their legs a certain way when being picked up; but I don't remember exactly.
  • If she's asleep or just waking up they're bent up and crossed. I think that newborn froggy legs are adorable, Im gonna be sad when she stops. Otherwise they hang down or kick.

  • They hang down now, and she usually tries a walking motion. I miss the newborn scrunchy days when their back arches and their legs stay bunched and criss cross. For some reason that is one of my most favorite baby things.

  • Benjamin would kick. And he would support his weight really well when his feet touched the ground.

  • I've never thought about this until I saw your question.  I just did it to see what he would do and his legs are straight.
