Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 My boys did this as well, and I worried that is was a siezure of some sort, but my pedi said the same about the nervous system, so we just let it go... before long they were no longer doing it at all...and this was before we had them banded at 7.5 mos...so 6 mos sounds about right when they were having the same symptoms...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 It must be a normal thing because my daughter does it also. It started a little before 6months and she wasn't banded at that time. She doesn't do it as often as she used to. Now that you've said something she only does it when she's tired, like when she doesn't take a nap during the day.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 My son has been doing this since 6 months. When he's extremely tired it's a lot more pronounced. We even had an EEG done to make sure it wasn't seizures. The EEG came back normal. As scary as it is it seems to be just a part of his development. Hang in there.
