I would prefer to be answered only by people with serious answers please, as this is a serious question having to do with the health of my child and not a subject to joke with. My 3 month old son has gone to the neurologist for possible seizures, and though their test was inconclusive, they noticed another possible problem, he doesn't pay much attention to stimulation from his left side. He responds eventually, but seems much quicker to react from his right than the left. The doctor said it was common and not too problematic as long as not followed by other symptoms such as hand preference, as it can signal a damage in one of the brain hemispheres. Yet just today, I noticed he sucks on his right hand much more than his left, and when I held his right down to force him to suck on the left, he was much more uncoordinated trying to get it into his mouth. My question is based on your experiences with your own children, does this sound like simple infant uncoordination, or hand preference?
