Question
The baby always shakes its head vigorously during afternoon naps, hitting the bed frame and continuing to shake even after making a clanging sound. I had to find a pillow to cushion it so that it doesn’t hit its head again. Why is this happening? Is it lacking something?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s condition may be due to a calcium deficiency-induced seizure. It is recommended that you arrange the baby’s diet properly, increase the intake of calcium-rich foods, consume vitamin D daily, and get plenty of sunlight. If needed, consider giving the baby calcium tablets. These suggestions are for the question “What’s happening when a baby sleeps and shakes their head, hitting the bed frame?” and I hope they will be helpful. Wishing your baby good health!
