Hi, my baby sometimes holds her hands together and stiffens her legs while stretching them out. She seems to be doing it while tired or wanted to sleep. If called she would turn and smile and continues the same again. What could be the cause for the same.

A. it might be a normal behaviour in your child and many times no treatment is required for that but if you feel that something is different you can take a video and share it with your doctor
