Baby shaking during feeding

[ceeveebee]

My 6 mo DS has recently starting shaking/quivering during feeds, usually towards the end. He has always done the 'fluttery mouth' thing but this is his whole head. I thought he was having a fit but I unlatched him and it stopped. Its happened 3 times in the past week. Has anyone else come across this? Should I get him checked out by the GP?

I don't know why he's doing this but would mention to doctor.

Bumping to see if anyone else knows.

I'd get it checked - if you can it might be worth filming it so you can show then exactly what happens.

Could be teething - DS does a crazy "Stevie Wonder head thing" when his teeth are on the move, but I'd definitely take him to the doctor to be sure.

Thanks all. Had a telephone appointment with my GP this morning and he said it doesn't sound worrying, apparently its the baby version of the jerky movements we sometimes do as we drop off to sleep, he said he's in a 'hypnotic state'. I also called the bf helpline (before I spoke to doctor) and they're going to ask their bf network and email me back so will update again if anything more to say!
