Spasms in infant/toddlers.... is it normal?

Question

my son is almost 11 months.

when he was about two weeks old he had spasms, im guessin thats what they are, in his right foot. i haven't noticed them much anymore since he was about 4 months old. now almost 11 months old he is having twitch spasms, i guess, in his right shoulder. is this normal? is it jus twitching spasms that will go away or should i take him to a neurologist or some kind of doctor? or should i wait till he is a toddler?

Answer 1

i heard that if you shake your baby when it is young it may have spasms, but im not sure. i would take him to a doctor of some sort, to be on the safe side.

Answer 2

if you think there is something wrong talk to your ped. they may suggest where to go. i wouldnt wait because if it is a neurological disorder you want to start treating it as soon as possible. before something worse happens.

if it is during sleep twitching is normal during rem sleep.

Answer 3

you have to go and ask his pediatrician..dont wait..who knows it might be an allergy...you dont want to get it infected..

Answer 4

You really need to consult your child's pediatrician. This may be something normal or it maybe something that needs attention now. So, take the baby to a pediatrician and if they think he needs a specialist than they will refer you to someone else. Good luck!
