LO stiffens a lot?

In the last week or so my LO has started to stiffen a lot when she gets excited. Now she is doing it when she is not excited. It scares me a little bit because she stiffens and tenses and gets super red in the face. Sometimes it even sounds like she gets out of breath. Anyone else's LO doing this?

  • I would video it and show your dr. Probably nothing though.

  • Yes. When he's angry he balls his hands into fists and stiffens his whole body. No change in breathing though. Does LO seem distressed by this?

  • @Keckers‌ no she doesn't seem distressed. It just seems like she's doing it more and more often, not just when she's excited. She will also take a toy, and squeeze it really hard while she stiffens. I've just never seen a baby do this before.
  • @MrsStanton87‌ she usually never does it with diaper changes. Just seems like excitement then it happens randomly while she is playing. I'll call the doctor tomorrow just to run it by them.
