Normal?

rockyrollgirl · September 2013

Since just yesterday, DD(8 months old) has been keeping her hands in fists. She won't open them to grab something like she did a couple days ago. I have to open her hands for her. She is even picking up things with her fists. Is this some weird thing that babies just do or do I need to be concerned?

I shouldn't have googled this but I did. Now I am stressing myself out.

She has her 9 month appt next Friday.

if october could be pumpkin allergy what?

rockyrollgirl · September 2013

They are not tight when I open them and she will hold what I give her after I open them. If I show her something then she tries to pick it up with her fists.

rockyrollgirl · September 2013

Thanks Hav. I am hoping it is just because her top teeth are coming in. I will try not to stress.

I was scratching my head at the pumpkin thing too.

What is your home language

Why are you encouraging her bombarding a serious thread about a mom being worried about her baby with her stupidity? Just curious

Its okay Hav. I shouldn't have responded in the first place.

Ladies its fine. No fighting. Wish I could delete this thread though....

MountaineerMomma · September 2013

I don't have any advice, but if you're really worried, could you move up her visit with the doc?

Minipenguin · September 2013

fwiw, DD does this sometimes. If I pry her little fingers open and put a toy in it then she will play with the toy. Eventually, she puts it back down and makes the fists again. You daughter is a little older than Lily but it's probably the same thing. Just figuring out the best way to hold things or something.

rockyrollgirl · September 2013

Thanks you two. I pm'd Hav, but I am pretty sure it is a coping mechanism for erupting teeth. I gave her some infant tylenol and now she is fine. Grabbing everything. I will try to remember to keep this updated if that changes.

That is exactly what she was doing.

I was actually about to post asking if she was teething? This is pretty typical. Teeth cause some pretty strange things. If your child had torticollis that resolved, the tilt can come right back while teething and resolve again as soon as the tooth breaks through. My kids like to keep their hands fisted (they have special needs) and it gets A LOT worse when they're teething.

Teething hurts. Instead of clenching her jaw in discomfort, she's clenching her fists. If it doesn't resolve by next Friday there is no harm in asking the pedi. It doesn't seem like a cause for immediate concern.

If you need peace of mind though, go ahead and call your pedi. That's what they're there for.
