shudder/chill sort of thing?

star1123

Aiden does this thing where he will sometimes look like he has a chill, and his whole body shudders.  He had a febrile seizure last spring, and I think I'm extra sensitive about this sort of thing.  After the febrile seizure I called the pedi right away, and they said it was absolutely fine, so very normal, and nothing to be concerned about.  It's never happened again, and we have moved on.  However, I have noticed that maybe once a week he will do this shudder thing when we eat.  I asked the pedi at his two year visit in December, and she said that it's most likely nothing to worry about, lots of kids do this, it has no connection to that febrile seizure, isn't a seizure, and he will outgrow it.  But it of course has me paranoid, so just curious if anyone else has seen this?  Is it really okay?

Not trying to make light of this at all, but I actually thought this was going to be about poop!  C has been pooping on the potty pretty consistently lately and often shudders when he does so.  Any chance A's doing this when he's going to the

Could it be associated with the flavored of the foods? Is it always done when eating? Is it possible it's a voluntary thing that he's doing our of habit?

If your pedi wasn't concerned I would just keep a close eye on it and bring it up again

I actually have seen this ...in a former boyfriend and he was in his 20's. we used to call it a "shiver." I have no idea what caused it as he had no health issues.

All three of my kids have done this.  It's random and doesn't seem to be related to anything.  My older two girls don't do it anymore, so I guess it's something they grow out of.

The boy I nanny does this while eating occasionally. There was a week several months ago where he did it probably every day, but now he rarely does it. I don't know what it was, his parents weren't at all concerned so they never asked his pedi about it.&n

It sounds like what my family refers to, in oh so technical terms, as the "pee pee shiver". A lot of kids do it after peeing and one idea is that it's because their bodies are regulating after having lost the warm urine.
