has anyone else noticed their lo shoulders clicking sometimes? going to ask hv about it tomorrow, but just wondered how common it is?

My LO's used to click a lot, he used to jump when we put him down too...his shoulders got stuck during the birth though, so think that's why...we got him seen to by a crainial sacral person (think that's what they're called!)

Someone might have a bit more general advice! But deffo ask your HV! xx

Yup - all of Sebastian joints seem to click. His shoulders when I pick him up, his wrists when I play with his hands and his ankle when we pretend he is running. I asked our HV and she said it was normal, but to keep an eye on it?! I'm going to bring it up again soon because I'm wondering if it is genetic. OH often dislocates his shoulder and is having an op to tighten his ligaments.

same thing here, my oh is always dislocating his shoulder, over 15 times x

I think when they are very little the hormones that made your hips loose for the birth have made thier joints loose also. Mind you, Finns hip still sounds click, but I have loose joints, too.

Yeah, when I pick Imogen up both her shoulders click!
HV said it's nothing to worry about though.

thanks for posting this. my LO has the same and i thought that it might have been something that i had done

hv said its common, as their shoulder joints are "hyper-mobile", but to keep an eye on it and mention it at his 8 week check to make sure that's all it is x
