Patient's question:
The baby is almost seven months old. At three months, we noticed that she shakes her head while eating and sleeping, for about less than a minute! Now, she still shakes her head occasionally. What could be the reason? Should we see a doctor?Doctor's answer:
This situation may be considered physiological. Small babies may sweat a lot from the back of their heads, and some may feel itchy, leading to head shaking. As a result, some babies may appear to have less hair at the back. Additionally, it's important to be mindful of brain development issues. Besides head shaking, there may be symptoms of limb twitching. Some babies may also have weak growth and development. If the baby can currently lift their head and sit, it is more likely to be the former.
