What to Do If a Baby Squeezes Their Arm?

Question

An eight-month-old baby squeezed their right arm while sleeping, cried for a moment, and then went back to sleep. The parents heard a crackling sound and worried that the baby might have fractured their arm.

Answer

If a baby makes a sound after squeezing their right arm while sleeping and then continues to sleep, it is unlikely to have caused a fracture, and parents should not worry too much. It is recommended to observe the condition of the baby’s right arm, gently touch it, and pay attention to the baby’s response. If there is no abnormal reaction, there is no fracture.
