My boy when very young (just months) went thru a phase where in the middle of the night he would suddenly sit bolt upright, swivel his head to scan the room, and then conk out again. This was not caused by noises.
I found this reassuring and slightly amazing, that he is wired to do his part as a nighttime lookout.
- hirvi74 2mo agoAssuming you are not jesting, I am not certain I would qualify that behavior as any indication of being wired for some sort of nighttime patrol duty based on those details alone.
- euroderf 2mo agoNot jesting! And, point taken. But it made me wonder. It was intentional (within the limits of intentionality for an infant) and repeated.
- hirvi74 2mo agoFascinating. Also, not that you implied this by any means, but I was not trying to say "you are wrong, I'm right." Rather, who knows? Do all behaviors happen for a reason? Idk.
