Shiver/Shudder motion

Hi,

Our 8 month boy has started to demonstrate a shiver/shudder motion like the one when they've just done a wee.

We are on our first trip aboard where the weather is warmer than we are use to. This motion can happen at any time so its not about him being cold.

Theres nothing else wrong with him.

Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks

My baby does this after doing a BM. I assume it's just a natural response.

Both my DC have done this in their first year. I've always assumed it's a wee, but never checked TBH. I think it's very normal

My husband still does this and he's pushing 40. I've seen my son do it too. It's really normal.

Sorry what does "BM" mean?
