[quote=Anonymous]My younger daughter has had it at least two times. I suspect three. I didn’t know about it and the pediatrician told us it’s most common ages 1-4 and to hold her by her upper arm when we help her on stairs, cross the street etc

The first time DH was lowering her from his shoulders and she lurched backward so he twisted / grabbed her in an awkward way. The second time she stood up in the crib unwilling to use that arm. We have no idea what happened. Pediatrician tried the maneuver, thought she felt a pop, and DD happily was playing / using that arm so we assume that was it. Another time I’m also not sure what happened - she was playing and got up in a weird way or reached for something. She wouldn’t let my older DD or DH touch her arm. The pediatrician had recommended I watch some YouTube videos / learn the procedure. So I decided it was worth trying. I did the procedure and DD went on with her day as if nothing had happened. I didn’t feel an obvious pop but either it fixed the problem or convinced her it was all better. [/quote]
