Newbs can be quite clicky! Next time your HV or mw is round, or you take her to baby clinic, mention it. If they hear it when you're changing her, they might be able to put your mind at ease.
FWIW my DC2 was v clicky- his ankle still clicks when I change him even now. 14mo on... as does his fathers (35yo).

Sorry- meant to say- your gp can listen too- and maybe refer for an ultrasound to put your mind at ease. My DC2 had one when he was 5 weeks old- everything was fine.

I remember my dd's back kind of crunching when I picked her up. But all quite normal apparently!
