Patient's question:
Hello doctor! My baby is already five months old. When I hold her and she urinates, she often makes a clicking sound when her legs kick forward. I don't know what's going on? Also, is it okay to take X-rays at such a young age?Doctor's answer:
This is normal. A child's motor development follows a certain pattern, from top to bottom:2 months - can lift head when lying prone;
3 months - can roll from supine to side position;
4 months - can sit with hip support;
5 months - can stand with support;
6 months - can roll over;
7 months - can crawl;
8 months - can sit independently;
9 months - can stand with support;
10-11 months - can stand independently with support;
12 months and older - can walk.
