Would be so grateful if any mums out there know anything about this - recently (over the last 2 weeks or so) my 21 mo ds has starting a funny thing where he looks sideways out of the corner of his eye, and sort of quickly turns his head to one side. I noticed it first recently when we were out for a walk - it was like he was looking at something, and then wanted to run it past his eye quickly, looking out of the corner of his eye.
I've searched the archives, worried this is an odd thing to do and thinking we should take him for a checkup with GP or HV. His speech isn't particularly great - has 12 or so words/phrases - and he's quite keen on repetitive actions (eg walking up/down stairs, sorting out things that type of thing) but nothing has really worried my until now - this eye thing bothers me though, it seems odd. He's done it a few times already today (eg half a dozen times in quick succession) so I worry he's doing it more and more.
Many thanks in advance for reading this, and please post if you have any thoughts or advice?
