A member asked:

6w5d baby joints pop usually her shoulders, shoulder plates, and wrists. is this a sign of a calcium or vitamin d deficiency? ftm here and paranoid

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry: It's normal to hear and feel popping sounds when you pick the baby up. It's similar to cracking your knuckles. Although there is no reason to fear vitamin D deficiency, it is recommended to supplement babies with Vitamin D drops to prevent it.
