Question
The child often forcefully shakes their head, particularly when about to enter a deep sleep state or just about to wake up. However, the child’s spirit, appetite, food intake, and bowel movements, as well as weight, are all normal. The child is also very robust. Recently, the child has been exhibiting head-shaking behavior during the day as well, resembling the shivering before urination. I would like to inquire if this is an abnormal behavior? Such situations have been occurring since the child was about three or four months old.
Answer
It is recommended to actively supplement vitamin D and maintain sufficient vitamin D intake. You can give the child some cod liver oil or Icodextrin for infants to promote calcium absorption and take some calcium supplements in conjunction. If you are concerned, you can go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Currently, it does not appear to be caused by a lack of calcium or neurological issues.
