What Causes My New Born Son S Neck Cracks While Moving?
Hi there my newborn Son s neck cracks every time he moves his head left or right. It has no sound to the crack, you can just feel it. I had asked a pediatrician not that long ago about it, and they said it s just his ligaments? Not much detail. I just want to know if it s normal. Thank you.

Hi,
This is a normal thing, since there are less muscles at the neck region, sometimes we can feel the crackling sound. You need not worry about anything, this sounds will go as the child grows. Wishing your child good health.
