DS does a weird, disconcerting thing too. If you're worried that you're not explaining it right to your ped, go ahead and take a video! You'll feel better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-twitching#post-1564120 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 20:14:48 +0000 fussygal 1564120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@creativemomma15: thanks! That makes me feel better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-twitching#post-1564094 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 20:04:03 +0000 creativemomma15 1564094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: Hmm, I feel like she still did it after she was 1 month old. It started slowing down from happening multiple times a day to just a few and then eventually only every few days before it stopped completely. I was freaked out about it too but she wasn't bothered by it and her Dr reassured me it was normal. I also have a cousin whose son did it and his Dr said the same thing. I hope it goes away for her though. (I didn't mean to downplay your concern… Its so easy to worry in those first few weeks, but I think it sounds normal) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-twitching#post-1563977 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 19:04:33 +0000 fussygal 1563977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: depends. Sometimes it's just a few twitches and sometimes it's for a few minutes semi-off and on (if that makes sense!). When I was freakin out this afternoon DH sent me a video and article earlier of another baby doing it and the article says it's normal I guess. It's just so hard to watch!! :(</p> <p>@creativemomma15: At what she did she stop? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-twitching#post-1563856 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 17:59:19 +0000 creativemomma15 1563856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD did this too. Our pediatrician talked about newborns nerves connecting and that being part of it. He said it was normal. I wouldn't worry about it too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-twitching#post-1563849 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 17:51:53 +0000 chopsuey 1563849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's normal! Does it last crazy long? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-twitching#post-1563658 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 16:03:18 +0000 fussygal 1563658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 13 days old and sometimes when she's sleeping she starts twitching. It's not like the twitch you have that jolts you awake when you're almost asleep/half awake, but it's more of a continuous twitch in her arms and legs. Is this normal? It happens multiple times a day when she's napping. I've asked her ped and she seems to think its fine as long as it's not happening while she's awake, but it's SO freaky :( I almost want to record it and bring it in to the doctor to make sure they understand what I'm talking about. </p>
