Anyone’s baby have asymetrical fat rolls in their legs?
I’ve noticed my 6 month old is having difficulty standing with support & does bear weight on both feet- she tends to collapse like a newborn. I checked her legs and she has a deep fat roll on the left leg but not the right. I’m freaking out b/c I had hip dysplasia (or my femur was dislocated) and I was in a cast for ~6 mos. I didn’t think it could be genetic & now I’m freaking out that I may have passed this condition on to her. 😭 she goes for her 6 month check up Wed & I plan to ask for xray for peace of mind. Any other moms have similar concerns?

My 7 month old is 22 lbs and has nice rolls on his legs. He was breeched so they had to do an ultrasound to check for hip dysplasia and everything came back fine! You may just have a chunk chunk like me. Definitely bring it up at the well visit 💙
https://hipdysplasia.org/developmental-dysplasia-of-the-hip/causes-of-ddh/ here's some info on hip dysplasia. If you did indeed have it, there's a 1 in 8 chance your child does too. ( no experience with hip dysplasia personally)
