Hi Dr. Keerthi, I am mother of 18 months old baby girl. Like 3 months ago, one night she wake me screaming and then she started crying but soon she slept. I was not thinking that there is something wrong as this was not the first time that happened. In the morning I found 2 blood drops on her pillow and I thought it was from teething. Just 4 weeks ago the same thing happened-scream, crying and blood on the pillow. The next day she was biting her inner cheeks till blood ( as her cheeks was little swollen from the one from the one during sleep) and then crying. I was reading in the net that this sleep biting can be from sleep seizure or sleep apnea. I never witnessed any seizure or something like this because I was also sleeping when that happened. Unfortunately there is no other explanation on the net for this sleep biting. Now I am really worried. Do you really think that she is having seizures or apneas or this biting is normal in her age. I’ve asked all of my friends with babies and they said that their kids never had such an episodes ever. Please also note that she is also sometimes crying while sleeping, but I think Is normal, also from time to time screaming( just for second), but I also thing is normal to happened sometimes in babies due to teething. I will be really thankful if you advice me on what can this sleep cheek biting can be from. Please advise me if I have to see a specialist as our pediatrician said that he doesn’t know that seizures can cause a biting during sleep. Thank you so much for your time. I hope your prompt respond. Silvia
