Hi all, my son discovered a weird movement two days ago. When I gave him a long melt stick he clenched his fists , and squeezed it whilst shuddering at the same time. He did the same when i handed him a ball during the day. This was fine as I figured he’s just squeezing these things.

But yesterday he repeated this movement during dinner and did it twice, although he wasn’t holding anything ? And has been doing it since. He’s done quite a few times today (maybe 7). He’s done it randomly whilst playing too if he’s annoyed . Like a clenched fist angry face and shudder. Sometimes uses so much force he goes red int eh face. He’s 9 months on the 28th. Anyone else’s Little one do this?

I showed a video the dr today who said it seems behavioural and to just keep an eye on it. Health visitor said it sounds totally normal

It’s just a phase. My little one learnt to squint and started squinting everytime he smiled. This lasted a week and I worried that his normal smile was gone forever! Babies are werid relax your little one is fine!
