Many babies are born with shaking their heads, which makes many mothers worried. So, what's going on?Is it normal?
In fact, the most likely cause of the baby's shaking head is the need for the development of the vestibular system. The vestibule is the organ that maintains balance, and most babies jump up and down, shake their heads, and some use their heads to hit other objects. This behavior can disappear for a short period of time, but it can also last for a long time, mostly in 1 1Disappeared at the age of 5.
Of course, there are other reasons why babies shake their heads:
1.Ear problems. The baby shakes his head, first to see if it is a problem with the baby's ears, such as otitis media, the baby will not express, there will be a phenomenon of shaking the head. If there is water in the ears, parents must pay attention.
2.Eczema or prickly heat on the head. Eczema, prickly heat is more itchy, the baby will not scratch with his hands, can only use his head to rub the itch.
3.Baby hot. Parents give their children a lot of covers, high room temperature, coupled with children's fast metabolism, high water content, and insufficient ability to control sweating, especially after falling asleep, sweating on the head, sweat stimulates the child's scalp to itch, the child will shake his head, and the bed friction to relieve the itching.
Mere act of imitation. Some babies imitate**, and babies will be happy to repeat this movement over and over again when they learn it.
5.Calcium deficiency. If the baby is deficient in calcium, it will be manifested as excessive sweating, especially after falling asleep, making the head uncomfortable, and the baby will continue to rub the pillow, and we will see the baby's head shaking. Babies under the age of 2 should supplement 400 units of vitamin D every day to promote calcium absorption.
