worried something is wrong

Hi all,
I haven't posted before but found all the discussions so helpful. I'm a FTM and my DS is 10 days old. Lately I've been noticing he's seems to have more facial twitches and is rolling his eyes a lot, sometimes back into his head. I'm really worried he's having seizures but I've never been around a baby as young as him so I don't know how much of this might be normal. We have our two week check up on Friday but I'd love to put my mind at ease in the meantime. Are any of your babies doing this?

Yes, my baby does this all the time.....facial twitching with her eyes rolling back. I was a little worried about it, but lucky enough, she did it while we were at the pediatrician's office for a checkup. I showed him and he said "That's totally normal...she's just dreaming."

I can't hurt to call the ped office before friday and voice your concerns!

Yup. Normal. But, always good to ask pediatrician for peace of mind.

My son was doing the same thing! I talked to my pediatrician and he said it's because babies can't fully control their eyes yet! It's totally normaly.
