What is this??
FTM here. My daughter has been doing this jerking movement a lot with her head lately…should I be concerned? I can’t tell if it’s just a quirky thing or if it’s more serious like an infantile spasm or neurological thing. Maybe it’s just my mom anxiety. Any ideas?
My daughter did something similar around 7 months. I was worried, too, but I googled around and I guess babies will do jerky repetitive motions while they're exploring themselves and what they can do. Maybe she thinks it feels interesting? My daughter stopped doing it after a week or two. Just my unprofessional take on it, a doctor's opinion is more important if it persists or you're especially worried.
