Hello dear, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Now I guess you you should do relaxed massage with oil to your baby, gently rubber his back,hands, legs,abdomen;do clasping exercises for hands, cycling and frog exercises for legs.You should not be worried too much. Her hypertonia of hands will disappear in age of 2-3 months and legs-3-4 months. It is normal development of baby.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
