  • Why are you asking us? Do you not have a pediatrician!!!

  • Take your child to the doctor right away. While probably not life threatening at the moment, there could be a serious reason in your child's brain development that cause this. If you ignore it now, it could lead to a serious developmental delay in the future. Depending on where you live, you may be able to get a screening and evaluation for little to no cost. Services for many disorders/delays are free under national childhood education laws even an age before the child goes to school. Please do not ignore these symptoms.

  • Two first comments sum up what I was gunna say pretty much. I have heard of the disorder that was mentioned but I don't recall the name of it. But maybe the diaper rash wasn't to bad. But for the pin prick I really don't know. maybe you baby has a bit higher pain tolerance n I hope you were referring to like shots or something n haven't actually pricked your poor baby with a pin. But all in all, it doesnt sound too normal n you should take your baby to the pediatrician.

  • Why would you stick your baby with a pin? Take the baby to the doctor, they know what they're doing! You need to be investigated! Why would you post this?

  • I'm sorry to say, I'm afraid your baby might be a robot.

  • That baby is a SOLDIER lmao Don't worry to much about it, After barely being born my little brother had to get shots and only responded by opening his eye's really wide, like, O.O "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" lol He didn't cry though. If it worries you that bad take her to the pediatrician. Better safe then sorry, right?

  • It's unlikely, but it's possible she has that disorder where one is incapable of feeling pain. People with this disorder often chew their lips and tongue, burn themselves, etc when they're young because they don't know any better and don't feel it hurting.
