Clicky/cracky shoulders, ankles and wrists in 9 month old

I have mentioned this to GP, HV and pediatrician and all say it's nothing to worry about but I'm still worried. When I say she has very clicky shoulders they just quickly pass their hand over her shoulders and then check her hips thoroughly and say they can't feel anything. I know they are worried if a child has clicky hips (which she doesn't) but why aren't they bothered by other joints clicking. Every night in the bath I put my hands on her shoulders and they crack and click and it feels like something is splintering, she feels no pain in this area though.
Is it just something she'll grow out of or should I go back to doctors? She's not crawling yet but can hold her weight on hands and knees for a while. She can stand holding on to something so it doesn't seem to be restricting her just turns my stomach every time I feel it.

I worried about DS for this very reason around the same age, I got the same response from the GP, HV etc, he's 20 months old now and doesn't click at all

Oh that's good to know Thanks. I'll try and stop thinking about it.
