Hi Everyone, I have a 9 month old son who has since month 3-4 been having possible motor ticks. I am a special needs teacher so I recognize it when I see it. Has anyone ever expereinced this. I asked my peditrician and she didn't seemed to concerned about it. Today for example it seemed like he had about 5 tremors. His body would shake. He is a happy little boy, makes great eye contact, and has kept up and met all his milestones. Please any experience, and or suggestions moms please. I'm a first time Mom, and if my son needs help/services I would like to get them for him.
