Bit of a weird question but does anyone else’s baby move their hands in circles?! Or has anyone with an older child had this and they’ve grown out of it?! I’m not worried about it (despite the many Instagram posts trying to say that anything a baby does has to be an early autism sign…) but I am just curious how normal this is 😅

My little girl does this too, it’s like she forgets she has hands and soon as she spots them is mesmerised and starts circling them or playing with them 😂

Yes mine does all day long. It's like he's showing off his skills 😂 he does it whilst holding toys too.
Everything and anything can be a sign of autism, try not to read too much into it. Also most children with autism don't even get diagnosed until 3 years +.

Yes, especially with food in her hand. I always tell her it's not a wand and she can't cast spells lol

My nephew used to do this allll the time and he’s fine and my daughter does this when she gets all excited. There’s many traits that they say is or could be autism but as Katie said about try not to think to much of it, A lot of babies do it at this age and turns out to be nothing xx

Yeah my little one sits there rotating them, flicking them... everything. She also likes to stick one or two fingers up and just sits there daydreaming while she looks at them. And then goes right back to flicking her hands 😅
My partner's family says she's flipping people off when she puts two fingers up 🤦♀️

My boy does this he also moves his feet in a rotation at times I am not sure If it's an agitation thing, but it does have me worried does anyone's little one rotated feet as well as wrist?

Mine does this all the time 😂 it’s so funny she does it so randomly as well but I think sometimes that she responds to waves. So when someone comes in and waves at her she will circle her hands so I assumed it’s her trying to learn to wave xx
