Rocking : Rocking can be a normal behavior for a one yearold favoring his left hand may mean he may turn out to be left handed.

What his doctor : means is that it could be a form of self-stimulation, especially if he looks at his hand from an odd angle while doing so. Does he point with his index finger for desired objects, raise his arms to be picked up, respond consistently to his name, wave " bye" back when someone waves at him, mimic pat-a-cake & peek-a-boo? If not, call your state's Early Intervention Program for an assessment.
