Answer

Children with calcium deficiency tend to sweat excessively at night, with the sweat irritating the scalp and causing itching. This leads to the baby shaking her head during naps, which can cause hair loss and dandruff due to friction. If your baby has the aforementioned reason, it is recommended to take cod liver oil to correct the calcium deficiency, and at the same time, pay attention to promptly wiping the head with warm water to relieve the baby’s discomfort. The above suggestions are for the question “Why does the child always shake her head?” I hope it helps you, and wish you health!
