My baby likes to shake his head before sleeping. What's going on?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for a 110-day-old baby to shake their head while sleeping? Does anyone know? Please help me answer this.

Doctor's answer:

If the baby has a calcium deficiency, some may also show symptoms of shaking their head. Due to calcium deficiency, the baby may exhibit excessive sweating, especially sweating on the head after falling asleep, causing the head to constantly rub against the pillow, which is the head-shaking behavior we observe in babies. Miao Miao loves to shake her head frequently, and this is exactly the reason. If this phenomenon persists for a long time, it may lead to thinning of the hair at the back of the baby's head, which is commonly referred to as "" (head baldness).
