Patient's question:
A newborn baby who is almost a month old always has her thumbs bent when she opens her hands, not straightened out. Is this normal, and does she need to be trained to straighten them now?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, in this case, the newborn baby's thumb is always bent after birth. This is a normal physiological phenomenon in newborns. Since there is no heat kiss exposure, the arms cannot be opened. This exposure will only disappear after 3-4 months. So don't worry, there is no problem. It is important to pay close attention to the baby's physical condition on a daily basis. If anything seems wrong, it is essential to take the child to see a doctor promptly to avoid delaying the treatment.
