Are babys bone supposed to make a cracking noise?

Yipes! 2 or 3 times now I've heard what is like the sound when you crack a knuckle, except not as loud, twice when my LO was swaddled up and moving around, maybe her shoulder "cracked" or arm? and once just when I was lifting her up and holding her. Again, it's not loud and obvious but it does sound like a joint "cracking" or popping noise. Anyone else had this, is it normal?

I pulled Mylo's wrist out from under him yesterday and it 'cracked' like this. I felt awful.. thought i had dislocated or broke it and instantly looked at his face for any reactions but he was fine. I spose it just like when my knees crack if I squat down.

Byron's shoulder have always popped about. It's disconcerting but having discussed it a few days after birth with MWs there seems to be nothing to worry about. He's certainly not having any problems.

Oh thank goodness she is not the only one! I thought they were way too young to have creaky bones!
