Question

Our five-month-old baby often crosses and rubs their feet. Is this a normal behavior? Do we need treatment?

Answer

In the field of pediatrics, this behavior in infants may be related to muscle tension. It is recommended to observe the baby’s motor development, such as head control, rolling over, and grasping fine motor skills.Brain damage is irreversible, but before six months of age, the baby’s brain develops rapidly, so passive exercises and massage activities are very helpful in promoting the baby’s development. If you are concerned, it is advisable to consult a professional doctor for an assessment.
