~amy~`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll My LO is almost 6 months old. When he is laying on the bed he will throw his head back and forth several times. He does this on and on and on.. he has lost most the hair on the back of his head from rubbing it off. He doesn`t seem to be having seizures just playing but it concerns me because my chihuahua seized alot and ended up dying :( Is this normal baby play?

Thanks ladies! He does smile when he does it so I don`t think it is anything to worry about. I just always freak out when I see something that may just resemble a seizure because of what my chihuahua went through!

My daughter does this, I think she is trying to scratch the back of her head!

My daughter did the same thing around that age. So I asked the Dr and she said it was normal and it`s something new they learn.

i think you would know if he was having seizures...my son had them wen he was born and the doctors have reminded us maaaany times of what to look for if he is....If he moves his head back and forth and you cant stop it no matter what u do..or if he seems to be `in a zone` or has any other odd twitches or movements that come in episodes then you would be concerned...but if hes just smiling and being himself then that`s just what babies do and you probly dont need to worry :)

Im not sure if this is the same but Andriette(almost 6 months too) does the same thing.She tries to `sit up` and realizes she cant come up to sitting position yet so she drops her head again and does this till i pick her up.

  1. OMG, I posted on FB (in reponse to a suggestion made to me on From Our House To Yours) that I didn`t like a business because the items were very expensive and my friend got a bad deal there and the owner is threatening to sue me! Have you ever heard of such a thing? I actually paid a consultation fee and my lawyer told me that she was `absurd with possible mental health problems.` I am protected by the fisrt ammendment to express my honest opinions freely where I choose, but he said she can take it to court(because people can TRY to sue over anything) anyway and that it might cost me legal bills. We will both be out a lot of money because she couldn`t possibly win. Can you believe that? FML! First my records and now this! I hope my baby isn`t a bad luck baby. I see people not recommending or recommending businesses all the time on FB!
  2. Is SaraKelly still on here? I know she was a mod but I didn`t see her post in the previous Who Is A Mod poll...
  3. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  4. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  5. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  6. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  7. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  8. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  9. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  10. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
