Flailing
How long does a flailing session last? Should I be concerned?
The flailing doesn't last long. In fact, it is soon replaced with crying as a way to get attention for his hunger, dirty diaper, or sleepiness. The first time you experience this, it might feel like there is something fundamentally wrong with your child and you may even want to call the doctor. As it continues, it becomes almost enduring and cute. Either way, it is not something that is going to hurt the baby and don't be concerned that it is epilepsy or seizing, that looks much different and lasts longer.
