He is 3 now and he still rocks and apparently its something he does as a comfort thing]]> Mon, 04 Jun 2007 21:58:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7986&PID=155031&title=head-shaking#155031 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7986&PID=154850&title=head-shaking#154850 Author: BaAsKa

Erin does this every so often too, and thinks it's quite funny - mind you, it probably doesn't help that I usually crack up laughing - find it quite cute. I wouldn't be too worried about it unless he is pulling at his ears as well, or something like that, in which case I'd have his ears checked to rule out an infection.

Hehehe, our babies are so similar!
Benjy has just started doing it ALL THE TIME too, and before that he used to nod.
I'm not sure if it is something he is doing because it is fun and gets people smiling at him (he smiles all the time he's doing it). Or if my inlaws are right and he's doing it to relieve the pain from teething?
Either way he seems happy

Thomas is a head shaker too. He doesnt do it constantly though. When he does do it thinks he is so funny.... I was abit worried when he started doing it ... and then I thought it was something he did when he was tired.... now I think he does it cause it gives him a sensation that he likes ... if that makes sense
Im abit relieved to hear that others do it .. not just my boy LOL ...

Hi ya
Just wondering as getting bit worried. Is it normal?
Blake shakes his head from side to side ALL the time. Sometimes he gets so disorientated and busy doing it he bangs it on whatever is close?

Do any other babies do this?]]> Mon, 04 Jun 2007 08:18:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7986&PID=154730&title=head-shaking#154730
