"MY INFANT'S BACK CRACKS?"

FAQ's

"Almost every time I pick up my seven-month-old her back cracks. It is so strange. Ever since she learned to sit alone, about a month ago it has been happening. She is developmentally on track, sitting, almost crawling and can pull her self into a standing position aloe. Do I need to worry?"

No, you don�t need to worry as long as development, growth, and function are normal. It is very common to have a back, shoulder, wrist, etc. crack when a certain amount of pressure is applied to a joint.
