I'm a little concerned that my 11 week old dd's finger and hand movements are a little unusual and may signal a developmental problem.....or am I being a paranoid first time mom? Her hands seem to be opening and closing almost all the time, or her fingers are moving randomly. Like when I hold her against my shoulder I can feel her hands opening and closing on my shoulder. Most of the time when she does it she is not looking at her hands so I'm not sure if its just something new she learned to do and is practising or if she just does it without realising that she is doing it. Since I noticed it its all I can see when I look at her, but looking back at some older photos and video I can see that she's been doing it to some extent since she was a week or so old. Lately she also brings her hands together in sort of a wringing fashion. She also grabs (accidentally I think) her shirt or pyjamas in the front of her chest. I guess I'm just nervous because I've never really noticed other babies' hands doing this. Did anyone else's baby do anything like this?
