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?
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 ...
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
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.
This is my neices absolute favourate thing to do!!!!! shes 8 months old and plunket said that it is perfectly normal.
Theres also the tilting head thing that is normal and i remember thinking that there was something sooo wrong with Bay when he started doing it! lol but no its normal...
My nephew done this when he was a baby, it was quite funny. he would do it more when he was tired. He is 3 now and he still rocks and apparently its something he does as a comfort thing
Yea totally normal, my bubba used to do it to get himself to sleep and still does some times at a year old, its a comfort thing and must feel nice, yes babies are a bit strange aye!!
