I dont have a baby yet, but im pretty sure
its nothing serious, hes a baby and all
babys do weird things lol, they are still
learning... If the doctors havent found
anything, its probably nothing... Just
wait a while and see if he stops..

I also dont think it's something medically
serious, I mean it might be that he had a
bad dream, or a bad reoccuring dream, or
he just day dreams alot when he just gaze
into air. Have u noticed anything else
weird? Have u asked him? When u do, how
does he respond..Etc

I don't want to sound like the negative
one here
but I have epilepsy and i'm also a nurse
and it could very well be his body
adjusting to his muscles but it could also
be what's called an absence seizure.
It's hard to diagnose epilepsy in infants
but it's possible. A lot of the time
tests come back normal even when it's
certain someone has had a seizure. I was
diagnosed at 11 and every test i've ever
had has come back normal, yet if I wasn't
on medication I would have seizures.
Keep an I on it. Document how ofter you
notice it. If it happens more frequently
see your doctor and demand to see a
neurologist, better safe than sorry. I
hope all goes well. Amy

Thank you everyone who has replyed and
helped me ..
Amy he is scheduled with a neurologist but
right now the waiting list is 1 year so
next year hopefully he will get in ....
The doctor told me to not to worry about
it that it might not be nothing be my
family's medical history isn't all that
good with the heart and such so that is
why I was concerned and hopefully
everything will be okay...
Thank you for your all everyone

He's fine don't worried, is this your
first child? I will give you this advice
stop speding money on doctors. Your son
is acting like a normal 2 year old.
I was a teacher, and believe me if you
spend time with a large group of children
between the ages of 2-5 will realize your
baby is acting normal.
... Thank you so
