I've noticed over the last few days that when I feed DS and he gets excited about getting fed and pumps his legs that his hips have started to make an audible popping sound. At least, I think that's what it is. The popping noise does not seem to cause him pain and he can take his own weight standing when supported and sit up. He does not seem lopsided at all (but then I would say that, I'm his mum).
Could this be hip dysplasia and if so shouldn't it have started when he was a lot smaller i.e. in time to be picked up at his 8 week checkup? I have just freaked myself out by googling this and am now imagining surgery and all sorts of horrible contraptions etc for DS, poor lamb.
