My Dad had it as well. I do believe there's treatment available for it nowadays. Talk with the pediatrician for a referral to the specialist.

I know this is kinda outside the box but i did get my kid a dog chew toy once he liked 😊, it was like a big frog with wiggley legs he liked to watch jiggle. Might be something else to consider for your little one. Hang in there
