SUBJECT: left arm resists being bent
My twelve week old daughter doesn't move or bend her left arm quite as easily as her right one. She DOES move and bend it on her own, but it looks like she prefers to use her right arm instead. When I bend it, it gives me a little more resistance than her right one. She reaches out toward her activity bar, grasps objects, and bends it up to her head--but not as much as with the other arm. Like yesterday, she was on her tummy, and her left arm was straight down by her side, sort of turned funny. It took her awhile
to move it. Both of her legs move fine. ALSO, she is 12 wks. and doesn't bring her hands together over her chest when lying on her back.
I hope someone can tell me if they've ever expereiced something like this and if it turned out okay!?
