I have a 1 yo DCG (turns two in July) whom I have had since she was 8 weeks old. Ever since she was sitting up and eating solids, she has seemed very uncomfortable in highchairs. I started her in the bumbo (as I do with all my 6 month olds), then she moved to a playschool chair that straps onto a dining table chair, then when we got a bigger house I was able to move her to a real high chair, and now she's sitting in a child's chair from Ikea.
In all of these seating surfaces, she shifts around constantly. It almost looks like she's trying to pass a really hard poo or something. She'll arch her back, she has a distressed look on her face, when she was a baby she would cry and scream when put in the high chair. Now that she is in a chair, she'll sit and eat, but like I said she's bouncing up and down as if she's really uncomfortable.
I brought it up to her mother, who said she noticed it too. But she didn't say anything else about it or seem concerned.
Should I just leave it be? Or should I ask the parents to get a doctor's opinion in case it's sensory? Not my business? I've never seen this behavior before.
