trying to diagnose why 9 month old shakes his head?
366462
some babies find delight in shaking their heads "no-no!!" if you worry about it take him/her to a neurologist.

I don't know...that was weird of the doc to say that.  My baby, who is also 7 months, blinks a lot when i clap when playing with her.;

Yes I know about it because the person is me.It used to be that I would wash my hands so much, that the skin would crack . And forget about picking up anything that was even remotely gross or dirty, I'd freak out and run to the sink and scrub for minutes at a time. I was driving my Husband crazy, and myself . So I got help. I went to a therapist and he put me on medication to ease the symptoms, and I see him to get a handle on this sometimes debilitating condition . The med. that worked for me was Prozac , which will also help with panic disorder. Get your Boy into the therapist as soon as possible .I'm sorry to say that it is unlikely that He will grow out of it . These things only get worse over time.Good luck, hope it all works out for You and your Son.

Sounds like an inner ear virus. I had it once. stood up, felt a bit dizzy but though it'd right itself in a few minutes. Got in the car to go pick up my son, turned a corner and fell over into the passenger seat! Luckily I didn't crash but had to pull over and have someone come and get me. I refused to go out in public (happened over my birthday too) because everyone who saw me thought I was drunk. I was sick to my stomach but I suffer from motion sickness too. A doctor can check for it real easy just by waving their finger back and forth in front of their eyes and watching the reaction. \n  My 9 month old son ended up with it too, he was just starting to walk but all of a sudden kept falling down. \n  I have constant vertigo because of it (always a little dizzy) but I've learned to live with it. Hopefully your aunt and cousin will come out of it ok. There's nothing the doctors can do to get rid of it, just treat the symptoms. My doc gave me something to help with the dizziness but I can't recall the name. If you need me to find out, I can try. Good luck to your family.

What would you do if you heard an unfamiliar sound, a new song on the airwaves per se; whether it sounds good or bad, you would be taken aback.\n\nYour new infant is still adjusting and his audio capacities are not fully developed at 3 months. His brain is constantly processing something new and seeks to associate the noise/ sound to an object. \n\nWhen your infant jumps, it could be for a myriad of reasons:\n\nWas he groggy, falling asleep or just plain sleepy when the noise was heard. As any normal human response, irrespective of the noise, one would jump when he hears it.\n\nWas the child hearing the noise but could not see the source. For an infant to hear a noise and not know what to associate it with can be frustrating and confusing. Hence this response is triggered.\n\nWhen the new noise is heard, the child could be saying "*jumps and reacts to it* Hey..what was that?..hmm I never heard that before...well well this life is full of surprises...i wonder whats next. *shivering with excitement* I cant wait!!\n\nSimply put, in essence this is a perfectly normally reaction. There isn't anything to be done as such. You can introduce some interactive toys such as Fischer Price to acclimatise your child in gettin used to hearing new sounds; then it would not be much of a shock.\n\nJus take this "jumpiness" as a good developmental sign. Your child's mental capacity is being expanded. He recognises new sounds and this is all be part of learning. Dont worry...be thankful.

While I would not recommend just putting him in situations to get bumped in the head - little ones can take quite a pounding when they fall, trip and so on. Nature makes their little bones more pliable than ours, and less likely to break..., that doesn't mean they wont, obviously.\n\nWhen a tyke gets goose egg bump - just watch for projectile vomiting (gushers) and very odd behavior out of character for the lad..., and of course.., take him to a doctor.\n\nAs for bruises you didn't say how he got them, so I assume he's just falling down, or bumping his head raising up under a chair or table, etc... all that is normal.  Some of these little fellas just fall and bump into things more than others. Don't sweat the small stuff. Just the goose egg variety.

That sounds as though he's either hemorrhaging internally or he has a block somewhere in his GI tract.  You should call his pediatrician today if not sooner.

My son has Aspbergers Syndrome which is very similar to high-functioning autism. I get so frustrated with his lack of communication. If things aren't going his way he stops talking and just grunts or yells. If I try to guide him somewhere and he doesn't want to go, he'll collapse to the floor. He's 5 years old and isn't potty-trained either. We jsut had him going to the bathroom at the beginning of the summer and it lasted for 2 months, but he's relapsed. I keep trying to explain to him that he needs to have this under control by the time kindergarten starts, but I never know what he understands since his lack of communicative social skills leave me guessing and confused. Anyone else in this same boat?\n\nLack of verbal communication, unless in babies;\n\nAsperger Syndrome (AS) or disorder is a neurological disorder characterized by poor social interactions, obsessions, odd speech and mannerisms. The syndrome is considered part of the spectrum of pervasive developmental delay and is sometimes referred to as "high-functioning autism."

This isnn't really the place to answer this. If you think it's serious get her to the docs or emergency room. \n\nHowever, my daughter does exactly the same thing. We took her to the doctors and basically they said don't worry. My daughter will stop doing it for a while and then sometimes restart. It seems to be maybe stress related but in her case it's been no great shakes. She got it about sge 11 and is now 14 and eventually you just kinda stop seeing her doing it. I'm sure the doctor gave it a name at the time, but I've forgotten it. It doesn't seem to bother her so we're cool with it, although like you it bothered us at the start.

on top of a young babies head (under18months) they have a soft spot on top of their head whwere their skull has not closed yet .If this spot feels hollow then it is depressed and the baby is dehydrated

I don't know the whole situation and you only say your little son.  Not to alarm you but you should have immediately consider a visit to the pediatrician.  They should be able to find out why the child is weak.  There are many reasons for that.

Do you mean all the time?  Babies have an extremely strong startle reflex.  The will gerk very strongly sometimes at the slightest noise, or movement.  If your baby is doing it all the time, for no reason, you may want to check with your doctor.

Looks like it could be outburst related to Asperger's Syndrome.  I don't think it could be Tourette's.

if she is shaking that sounds like she might have a fever, being dizzy could mean that she dehydrated, the stomach ache could be from a stomach virues or food poision, anyhow sounds like she needs too see a doctor and drink plenty of fluids

It could be so many things ranging from simple to more complicated.  Only your doctor can diagnose it for sure.  Take heart though, as most of the time it is nothing.  If he is very athletic, he can have this from dehydration regardless of the fact that he drinks a lot.  \n\nPlease let the doctor handle the diagnosis and the care.  He is more qualified than anyone in here.  He has also seen and examined your son.
