Baby twirling wrist and feet

So I’ve noticed my LO twirls her wrist and feet quite often especially when excited but she does it even when not excited. Is this something I should worry about? Has anyone else’s LO done this before ?

My little girl constantly does this too. Have always wondered why she does this x

@Megan I’m not really sure what it can be and if it’s normal. But the dr google seems to think it’s a sign of autism ? I haven’t seen other babies do these movements so I don’t know if I should be concerned x

It’s quite normal for babies to twirl their wrists and feet. Babies are very sensory seeking. How old is little one?

@Bethan she just turned 9months and she’s been doing it since she was around 6/7months x

Yeah I personally wouldn’t be too concerned at that age. However if you are you could speak to your health visitor team. From my knowledge children don’t generally get diagnosed with autism till the age of two. Babies share a lot of traits that present in autistic children x

@Bethan thank you! I’ll see how she goes over the next few months and mention it in my HV appointment xx
