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 Embarassed 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 Smile

Can Someone Help Me
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...

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.
