Baby constantly holding leg up when relaxed!

Hi all,

My baby is 5 months and he constantly holds his right leg elevated when relaxed. So either feeding or sleeping! Is this normal?

Can you mention it to your health visitor? Then they can tell you if he needs to see a doctor or anything.

Can he lie it flat?

@BrutusMcDogface yes he can lay it flat but always has it like that when he’s relaxed. I will mention it and see what they say!

Did he have a hip scan? Was he breech at all? So cute, by the way Smile

@Tempusfudgeit no hip scan. I do feel some clicks when manoeuvring his legs. He wasn’t breech but did have positional talipes which seems to be slowly improving. Thank you ☺️

Hello, did you find out about your baby's leg please? My son was the same he's 12 now and still has issues with his left leg and I still don't have any proper answers 😩
