does DC ever space out?

Does you LO ever seem to space out? Like if your talking to him/her and they just look blank for a few seconds. DS does this when he's tired or just woke up from nap. I never thought anything of it as I figure we all space when we're tired. My mother however keeps bugging me to ask the pedi about this saying she thinks its weird.

And your mom never spaces out? LOL Yes, DD and DS space out all the time. Especially, like you said, if they are over tired or just wake up. I space out too in those situation.

Not regularly, but once in a while she does. I wouldn't be too concerned unless there are other behaviors that are worrisome, too. I space out once in a while...don't you?

Yes, he does it when he's in a crowd. He does it at his swim lessons a lot. I think he gets overstimulated and can't seem to focus on one thing when there's so much going on. I've never thought it was abonormal at all.

yes! but i can always snap her out of it and then she smiles at me.  so i'm not worried.

Yeah that's what I told her. She kept going on about how she doesn't remember me ever spacing out as a baby. Naturally I laughed and made some sort of a joke about robots but I think she got to my paranoid side.

I was wondering the same thing about DD. She does it occasionally when I go to get her out of her carseat or when she's sitting in her chair hugging her doggie.

Wouldn't worry about it unless you have other signs that indicate something is wrong.
