Baby's eyes jitter

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

My 2 month old seems to have just started getting jittery eyes.  I noticed this first on Friday.  Her eyes move back and forth really really fast (jitter) for a second or two.  She's not focusing on anything when they jitter, it seems to be an involuntary movement.  I certainly cant move my eyeballs back and forth that fast.  I see it most often at diaper changes, when I'm looking at her constantly.  Has anyone else noticed this with their baby? 

We have a dr appt tomorrow (for shots) and will ask then.

    Not much help but, I had a friend in elementary school who could voluntarily make her eyes do that.

    My son has done this twice since he was born.  So far nothing has become of it.  They did an eye exam when they were in the office- and his eyes looked great.  But, mention it to your pedi....it could be nystagmus (especially if it has been occurring regularly).  GL!
