baby with a stiff back

Published

I was wondering if you all might be able to help me on this. I currently watch a 3 month old little girl. She has an extremely stiff back, and it is always stiff. I have never seen this in a baby. The only other things I have noticed but are not as alarming to me is that she is large for her size in both weight and legenth. She has a bowel movement about 1-2x a week, but she is breast fed. Is this something I should alert mom to? I don't want to worry her, but don't want to let if go if it could be something serious. Any advice would be much appreciated. I have looked on the internet but didn't find much. Thanks:)
