6 week old baby- tucked up leg

Bit of a strange one but I have noticed that the same one of my baby’s legs stays tucked up more than the other when led down. It’s almost as if the hip joint is higher up/stiff.

Hoping it’s normal and just a case of getting used to extending it after being squashed inside..?

Thanks!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Has baby had their 6 week check yet ? Mention it then or see your HV/Gp.

Most likely to be positional due to being a bit squashed during pregnancy. Were your prenatal scans and new born hip check ok ?

Thanks! We actually have it later today so will definitely mention. All checks in hospital and health visitor etc ones since have been fine- now really worried!
