R keeps rolling her eyes to the side of her head. At first we thought it was just when she was tired but she did 3-4 times this morning. It lasts not even 5 seconds and she acts totally normal.
Anyone else experienced this?
-
No one?
-
I've only seen that on babies when they're dozing off.
-
No, I've never seen this...her eyes are rolling in the same direction?
-
@swedishfish: yep both eyes.
-
@Smurfette: maybe she just discovered she can roll her eyes and likes doing it? My R wouldn't stop shaking her head no when she discovered how to for a day or so.
-
Is she doing it in reaction to you? M started rolling her eyes at me on purpose around 13 months.
-
@MamaMoose: omg where did she learn to roll her eyes?! hahah!
@Smurfette: M used to roll her eyes for fun when she was younger. She stopped doing it though!
-
@chopsuey: sadly..., probably from me!
-
@Smurfette: E just tarted doing this and I know it is purposely at me. I am a huge roller.
Also he has always done it when tired. -
@MamaMoose: @chopsuey: sometimes yes but otherwise she just does it sitting eating......
-
@swedishfish: my LO is totally into head shaking right now!
@Smurfette: I don't have experience with eye rolling but I googled head shaking and apparently babies like the dizzy feeling it gives them. Maybe eye rolling is along the same lines?
-
Did she stop in the middle of things and do it? Do they roll up and to the side or is she just looking to the side?
-
@travellingbee: they just roll to the side. It isn't her looking to her side. She will be walking and it just does it
-
I totally don't mean to say this to scare you because i'm positive it's just her being silly, but there is a kind of seizure that has to do with the eyes rolling. I don't know that much about it but I'm a teacher and I had a student with it.. I do remember the mom telling me it wouldn't actually look like a seizure that you would imagine. I'm sure it's not but I just think it might be worth mentioning to her pediatrician. I don't think it would be anything that would require you rushing off to the doctor anyway. But worth calling them in checking...?
-
@travellingbee: Yeah we found that online too. I am going to call on Monday. It is freaking me"!!
-
@Smurfette: Maybe try to get a video of it in case your doctor wants to see? I'm not sure how feasible that is though.
-
@Smurfette: I second the video... if he does something weird, I take a video and show her. Because he'd never do it once we're there!
Hopefully it's just one of those weird things that she picked up and is doing over and over again.

any update @Smurfette: ?
-
@travellingbee:
Update: I called the nurse said to document and try and notice when she is doing it. If it increases to come in. Otherwise she said they are sponges and she is soaking in everything we do and probably is seeing me (most likely), DH, or her teachers do it and it doing it. Her teacher said this morning that they have seen her do it but only when they ask her to do something.
-
@Smurfette: Wonderful!! Glad to hear that they think it is nothing!!
-
@Smurfette: ahh great news!
-
@travellingbee: @Pumuckl: I just hope that is what is it.
-
@Smurfette: FX she is being a mirror and is just repeating what she is seeing.
-
@Smurfette: Fingers crossed that is all it is!
My mom said said when my oldest brother was 2 he was coughing all the time and she got so worried so she took him to the dr! Dr said he was fine and then my mom coughed and then my brother coughed. The dr laughed and said "ah I think we have a copy cat here!" Turns out that's what it was!
