Question
My baby is almost five months old and often shakes their head during naps. What could be the reason? How were the past treatments and their effectiveness? What should I do?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s shaking head during naps might be due to issues like eczema, calcium deficiency, or scalp itching. Please carefully observe the baby’s scalp condition, but don’t worry too much as the problem should not be serious. Pay attention to the baby’s calcium and cod liver oil intake, get plenty of sunlight, and eat more calcium-rich foods to promote healthy growth and improve the quality of deep sleep. If necessary, you can take the baby to the hospital for a trace element check to determine the root of the problem. The trace element test only requires collecting finger blood. Wishing the baby good health and happiness!
