Why does a five-month-old baby always shake their head?

Patient's question:

What is the reason for frequent head shaking? Sometimes it shakes while sleeping, and sometimes it shakes when awake, looking unhappy. Treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you expect: Not shake frequently anymore.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, the symptoms are often caused by incomplete development of the nervous system, and every baby may experience this situation again. It is also considered that the symptoms may be due to calcium deficiency. Timely dietary adjustment can help stabilize the symptoms. First, it is important to pay attention to dietary care, advocating breastfeeding, encouraging the baby to get more sunlight, and keeping the skin clean. Additionally, consuming more calcium-rich foods such as soy products and dairy can help with symptomatic treatment.
