Stiffness problem
Dear doctor,
My daughter is 75 days old. After bath,when I try to dress her up,she folds both the arms at elbow and it gets a bit difficult to make her wear her vest. She is an active child otherwise and moves her legs and arms a lot. Is folding of arms at elbow common for babies? Regards
