If your child cries all of a sudden, it might not just indicate he or she is wet or hungry and should be fed… there are various meanings when a baby cries and of them might be a case of nursemaid’s elbow.  You must be aware of the nursemaid’s elbow symptoms so that you will know what you are going to do next.

Nursemaid elbow is a layman’s term for the condition called Radial Head Subluxation. It is common among infants and children since they have underdeveloped bones and body structures, therefore wear and tear can easily happen to them. This happens due to the improper handling of a child, tugging a child’s or infant’s arm incorrectly or improper positioning of the infant on the bed.
