Why do babies shake their heads?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The head-nodding and shaking behavior of a baby could be a normal physiological phenomenon, such as finding it amusing to shake their head, attracting attention, or due to underdeveloped neuromuscular systems. Alternatively, it could be pathological, such as infantile nodding spasm or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. In such cases, it is best to seek further examination from a specialist doctor at the hospital.
