Does A Very Defined Movement Of The Wrist In An Infant Need Medical Attention?

It seems like my granddaughter's right wrist (11 months old) is odd. When she bends it, it seems to click back and forth (w/o the noise) but it is a more defined movement than the other wrist like a snap. She is ready to walk but has never crawled, instead uses the army crawl, could something be wrong with her wrist?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Greetings,
i highly doubt that.
though every child has a different pace of catching up with the milestones,the age that your grand daughter is falling in,according to that she's not doing bad.
i would still tell you to get it physically examined once as sometimes vitamin D deficiency can cause the symptoms that you are describing.
Hope this has helped.
thanks and regards.
