A member asked:
Is it normal for babies to stretch arms & legs (at same time) a bunch of times when they wake up? my son stretches up to 4/5 times when he wakes up.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretching: Yes, it is normal to stretch arms/legs upon awaking as an infant. Observe for blue color, shortness of breath, or not responsive to touch/verbal cues. Any prolonged episode should see MD to rule out seizure activity, especially if movements occur in the day, not with sleep.

My four year old has always had sensitive skin. At times, she breaks out with a flat pink/red dry looking rash clustered mostly on her face, behind her knees, legs and in the folds of her arms on the front side of her elbows. Could it be pediatric eczema?
