is it normal for my baby girl to randomly flap one of her arms? she does it randomly throughout the day and it’s usually only her left arm. she also just randomly grabs at my arm and then open and closed her hand like she’s trying to grab something on my arm and i have to stop her because it starts to hurt because of her nails even if i cut them. is this normal?

I think it’s normal for their development around this age. They’re discovering a lot more :)

My son did that a lot now he’s & and it’s making m smile to think about. He use to put his arms up and circle his hands over and over. She’s probably just discovering herself but I’m sure you can talk to your provider if you’re worried?

My daughter does it too especially when I'm feeding her she likes to continuously whack me with her one arm lol. I think it's normal ,just them learning and get comfortable with their bodies.

lol same!! I have to hold her hand while she eats to avoid getting wacked 😂

okay! thank you everyone! i thought i was going crazy and it wasn’t normal!

I hope so 😂

"smack smack smack" 😂❤️ cute

My baby does this. It’s normal

My daughter does this and she does it with her legs mainly.
