Rem cycle or seizure!?

Hey moms! I hopped over from July in search of advice: My 3 week old opens his eyes and rolls them around during sleep and sometimes in the middle of feeding, also does all kinds of faces it is so creepy and I can't tell if it's just his rem cycle or something more serious, does anyone have similar experience?

  • It's just him sleeping and fighting it. Mine does stuff like that all the time. Totally normal

  • Totally normal. Mine sleeps with her eyes open and it's the creepiest thing.
  • Mine does that too , but very scary !!!
  • Yup, I also see that when I'm trying to get him to sleep and he's not quite out but mostly there. It IS kinda creepy, but I take it as the point where I can *probably* stop bouncing / rocking and oh so carefully put him to bed.

  • When it comes to seizures there is nothing that will bring a person out of it except time and meds. After a seizure most people are extremely sleepy for several hours. If it were a seizure they would not continue to feed as any coordination is gone during it. I hope this helps!
  • Unlike us babies spend most their sleep cycle in REM, very normal
