Odd question: her shoulder keeps popping?

[Menelly]

My little girl is 3 weeks old today. (Already? ) And almost every time I pick her up, or change her position, or much of anything, her right shoulder pops. Sounds like it would if I popped my knuckle, and you can feel it.

It doesn't seem to cause her any distress at all, she doesn't even make a face and never cries when it happens, but nothing ELSE seems to pop regularly on her, and I don't know if this is a bad sign or anything.

Anyone else have something similar happen? Is this something to worry about at all, even when it causes no discomfort?

Help?

Thanks.

My LO's shoulder also pops, mainly when I position him to breastfeed. I have no idea what it means but it never causes him any distress. I do worry a little that he's going to end up being prone to clicking body parts.

Glad to know I'm not the only one!

Our LO is the same. I asked the doctor a while back and she said it was normal

same with mine she it 5 wweeks and its her right side of her hip...i picked her up on day and thought i broke her o.0

Hope, that's what I'm mostly worried about. Does she have some sort of crack or whatever that's an issue?

But I think she'd be more uncomfortable if that was true, right? It pops and she doesn't even make a face. She's completely fine.

My LO's hip was always popping and cracking when she was really small. The doctor said it is normal and usually goes away with time. I think it stopped around 3 months.

Paiges wrists still click sometimes when Im playing with her/getting her dressed. Theyre only tiny little clicks and I feel them rather than hear them, but then again, my whole body clicks all the time!

I could've written this post! My LO is also three weeks old and her right shoulder pops all the time.

My husband pops his knuckles/toes/wrists/etc all the time, which drives me crazy, so he thinks it's pretty funny that his daughter is following in his footsteps.

Yup, my little girls left shoulder always pops when I pick her up, so it seems pretty normal. She never seems to get upset about it!

I read that doctors don't know what causes it but it is totally normal, and baby would let you know if it was anything that was causing them pain x x

Thanks all, I feel much better about it now.
