My DD who has just turned 11 months has these really jerky hand movements and I'm just wondering if this is normal as my friends kids of similar ages don't do this.
The best way I can describe it is she sort of brings both hands together as if she is going to clap (which she can do) but stops halfway so her hands just jerk together and stop mid air. She also opens and closes her fingers repeatedly quite a lot.
My husband and dad (who looks after her 2 days a week) say it's just excitement but it looks so odd and wrong to me.
HV is stumped as usual so I just wondered if anyone else's DC did this?
In every other way she's doing great - crawled at 7mth, cruising well, says a couple of words, very good hand to mouth co-ordination, stacks rings correctly etc.
Am I worrying over nothing?!
