    Posted: 23 December 2007 at 11:25am
My wee Bella-boo woke up this morning with a limp, floppy right arm. Our first thought was that she'd slept on it funny and it was numb, but after 10 minutes it was still limp. She cries every time I try to lift it (and it just flops back down again) and she is not gripping with that hand (but still gripping fine with her left arm/hand).

I called Healthline, who said she should be seen immediately, so we called our after-hours doc (hospital is 45 minute drive for us). He agreed that it was unusual, and bar us physically beating her (which of course we didn't do) he thinks she may have had a seizure overnight. He said that 5% of babies will suffer a seizure to some degree and sometimes its just a one-off type thing due to all the development thats going on in the brain. That was at 8am, and it is no better, so we have to go back and see the doc again soon to see what he thinks. He said he will be referring us to paeds in the unlikely event she has another seizure, but still, I'm not enjoying see my little girl like this

I am so sorry to hear your wee girl is not soo happy, hopefully it is something that can be fixed without too much hassle.  Sounds similar to when a gf of mine told me her wee girl had broken her arm - was just a green fracture but still unpleasent

All good...we remembered last night that DH pulled her up by her arms before we put her to bed - she grizzled at the time, but we didn't think anything of it. Anyway, we mentioned it to the doctor and he said she would have dislocated her elbow as everything is loose in babies (apparently the combination of being pulled, being relaxed as it was bedtime, loose joints, and just plain bad luck) all contributed to it. So, he just popped it back in, he heard it crunch and she immediately lifted her arm and put her hand straight in her mouth! Poor DH, I think he's feeling pretty bad, but its just one of those things. She seems fine now. Thank God it wasn't anything more serious, I can go back to relaxing and enjoying our Christmas break!!

Thats good it wasn't anything more serious.

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine, she was holding her toddlers hand and the tddler tripped so she pulled her arm tight to steady her and it dislocated her elbow too. Apparantly it is quite common so hopefully your Dh doesn't feel too bad.

 Big hugs to you and your family. Im glad it wasnt anything more sinister and that she is better now. You are right it is just one of those things and I hope DH isnt too hard on himself even tho I know guilt is a killer when an accident has happened. Wishing you and family a very Merry Christmas Shell

I did wonder if it was something dislocated, as the symptoms you described is what happens when your shoulder pops out.

I guess babies really do bounce.

Glad its nothing more serious.

Yay for getting it sorted, and it being nothing too serious! A friend of mine dislocated her daughters arm when she was carrying her once and when she took her to the doc she was so upset and guilty and the doc was like, oh you'd be surprised how often it happens!

Amazing how babies bounce back...Bella is an absolute box of birds! Not her parents though, I think we may have gained a few extra grey hairs after this episode

This has happened to our girl too... was just about to suggest that this might have happened as it took her quite a while to use her arm again, a few hours after it clicked.

I'm glad it's all sorted. A few months back I thought this had happened to Kryssi, she was limp and crying and being kinda silly - turned out she was just over tired and hungry but ONLY wanted meat (funny girl, she refused breast, biscuits, etc!!) but still, she was really limp and grizzly from being tired - and that alone had me freaked out lol!
