8 month old : Baby is clinching the jaws
My 8 month old baby, has started teething 15 days ago. It has been 10 days, we are observing roughly 5-10 times a day she is clenching the jaws and slightly bending the head and moving her one hand back. We are observing this behaviour only when we lift her in arms. And she tends to do the same sometimes when she is excited as well.
I am scared if this seizures. But she not rolling her eyes neither becoming unconscious
Kindly suggest, Is this normal?

In all probabaility this is normal but i would suggest a video recording and a review of the video and the child by a Pediatrician to be sure that these are not abnormal movements

such type of behaviour always decreases with increasing age of the child and it is very common behaviour at this age.
with proper diversion and getting the child engaged in another things will help in decreasing such behaviour.
meet your doctor for more advice and also share the video of such behaviour with the doctor.
also see that the child is not having iron deficiency because that can aggravate this behaviour
