The sleeping condition of babies is a key concern for parents, and the older generation always says that good sleep can help babies' brain development. Adequate sleep and good sleep quality can indeed promote the growth and development of babies. Various small movements during sleep can also make parents laugh and cry. Many parents find that their babies always shake their heads while sleeping. So why is this?
If parents notice that their baby is shaking their head vigorously and accompanied by painful expressions, it should be taken seriously. It is possible that the baby's body is experiencing discomfort. In this case, parents should first check if their baby has rashes and if there is any odor in their ears. If there is, they should be promptly taken to the hospital for treatment.
When a baby shakes their head, it is not normal for parents to be careful not to dress them too thickly. Thick clothing can easily cause eczema and often accompanied by itching. As newborns cannot speak, they can only express their discomfort by shaking their heads. At this time, the indoor temperature should not be too high, and the humidity in the air should be maintained.
Also, if it's just a slight shaking of the head, there's no need to worry too much. These are all involuntary movements. As the ear balance system of newborns has not fully developed, shaking the head is a normal phenomenon and does not require excessive intervention. Another situation is that shaking the head is a way for babies to self soothe, which can help them calm down and enter a sleep state.
