During infancy, children often have various movements that give them a particularly cute feeling. However, some movements may cause concern for family members, such as neck tightening. Many parents want to know the reason why eight month old babies like to shrink their necks. Let's take a look together.
1. If a child only occasionally shrinks their neck, it may be just a small movement or habit of the child. Don't worry too much. If you are really worried, you can also check if there are red spots or mosquito bites on the child's neck or back. If there are such marks, they must be dealt with in a timely manner, so that the child won't shrink their neck again.
2. If a child has experienced umbilical cord entanglement around the neck or hypoxia at birth, it is important to take the child for timely examination to see if there are any brain disorders caused by hypoxia. If so, it is important to seek treatment as early as possible, otherwise it may affect motor function.
3. In addition to the above reasons, children who like to shrink their necks may also be deficient in calcium. In this case, it is recommended that parents promptly supplement their children with cod liver oil and calcium to meet their developmental needs.
