i was just wondering how long most newborn babies keep their legs up for? charli has hers tucked up pretty much all the time....jack was in a harness for dislocated hips at her age....is this the norm?

| I think Addison had hers up for a wee while but it can also be a sign of wind but you would know what cos she might be grizzly. I guess they are just used to being tucked up inside out stomachs with not much room to move |

Ethan is 7 weeks and when I put him on his tummy he still holds his legs up like he did when he was a newborn. He is doing it less and less now but he still does it. ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

Erin occasionally brings hers up when she needs to fart, so I am always a bit wary of it ! LOL But other than that it doesn't really happen that often, and she is 3 mos. now  ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Mitchell used to do this all of the time - and still does.
I always worried they might stay like that  but they seem to be fine

Both the girls hold their legs up, makes wrapping them a mission. I can't remember if Maya did or not? Probably did. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
