There are many strange behaviors on babies, which may seem cute at first glance, but upon closer examination, it is discovered that there are infinite mysteries hidden within them. So why do babies always shake their heads and brains?
1. Normal physiological response. The development of the inner ear vestibule in infants is not yet fully developed, and shaking the head can help alleviate physical discomfort, which is a normal physiological response. Babies are also very intelligent, and when they experience physical discomfort, they will find ways to relieve it on their own, similar to grinding teeth and drooling during the oral period. This is a normal phenomenon, so there is no need to worry too much.
2. Maybe I'm tired. Careful moms can easily notice that little ones often shake their heads the most frequently in the evening, when they are about to fall asleep, and shaking their heads may also be a sign that the little ones are tired.
3. Discomfort in the ears. In addition to normal physiological reactions, there is another situation that mothers need to observe carefully, which is ear discomfort caused by eczema and other reasons. In this case, the baby will shake their head more frequently during the day, which may be accompanied by abnormal emotions such as irritability and crying. Mothers should also pay attention to observation.
4. If a baby always likes to shake their head and brain for no reason, sweat too much, sleep poorly, and be irritable, it may be rickets caused by calcium deficiency, in which calcium absorption requires VD. Therefore, newborn babies should supplement with vitamin D every day around 2 weeks after birth.
Taking care of a baby is a long and arduous process, and requires parents to be patient for a long time. Once the baby has any discomfort and cannot be clearly diagnosed, they should immediately go to the hospital for diagnosis before receiving targeted treatment.
