Hi everyone, my baby's 10 months old and is eating solid food for the past 4 months. A day ago when eating starting to make these strange face for few seconds and then eats again and does it again for every spoonful. He does not cry or anything and continue to eat. Did any of you see anything similar with a baby? Really worried. I attached a photo, for some reason Videos cant be attached.

Is he doing it at any other time? @Rallyy

@BunnyRuddington no, just during eating...

@BunnyRuddington he has done it today during play time, not eating, but not as pronounced...not sure if teething can be a reason..

I think it’s worth talking to the HV or GP. Maybe try and film him doing it if you can?

@BunnyRuddington i did film it i cant attach the video... But only when eating. i went to gp and said they looked on Google and said think is startle reflex...i dont believe it is because he hasn't showed signs of startle reflex from 5 months old onwards, he's done with that. Then he told me if im worried i can go to A &E and shows his notes letter and ask to be seen by a pediatric doc. Or to wait 2 weeks see how ot goes and have a follow up with him.
