The child is almost four months old and always shakes their head while sleeping. What's the reason?

Patient's question:

My child is almost four months old and always shakes his head when taking a nap. What could be the reason? Because he eats too little, the hospital prescribed some medicine. Treatment history and effectiveness: none. What kind of help do you need: I want to know the reason and get it resolved.

Doctor's answer:

This symptom might be due to calcium deficiency. My niece used to be very fussy and cry a lot, had difficulty sleeping, and was thirsty during naps, all because of calcium deficiency. The doctor said babies are prone to (a condition where hair thins at the back of the head). Later, after taking (a calcium supplement for children) for her, she slept more peacefully during naps.
This is the advice for the question "Why does my child always shake his head while sleeping?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
