A. such type of habits and behaviour usually improve with increasing age of the child and does not require any type of intervention.z you can divert the child to prevent the habit / behaviour. this is totally fine and not to be worried about. take care. z

A. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much and yes it is quite normal in babies at this age and please massage your baby with almond oil and olive oil twice a day and do more leg and hand exercises… Take care
