Baby has head 'tic'

by firewife722, Jan 09, 2008 06:25PM
My 8 month old granddaughter has a sort of head tic- she shrugs her head and shoulders on her right side. She may do this 2 or 3 times a day.
She been doing this for about 2 months now, We are getting worried on why or what is causing this
tic.

Hi,
Tics are spasmodic, involuntary, repetitive, stereotyped movements that are non-rhythmic, often exacerabated by stress, and may affect any muscle group.
Tics can be classified into three groups, one of which is transient tics of childhood.
I think your daughter might be having transient tics of childhood.
If you are concerned about it, you can consider seeing a pediatric neurologist for opinion.
Hope this helps.
Bye.

Hi Firewife722

My 10 month old baby daughter has this same problem.

Are you any further forward with knowing what it is?

I have an appointment with a pediatrician in April to have this checked out.

Hope to hear
