Three-month-old baby always shakes his head when sleeping

Every parent takes meticulous care of their children. Children sleep longer, and the younger the child, the longer they sleep, which is beneficial to the baby's brain development. Babies are generally quiet when they are sleeping, which is a deep sleep, but sometimes different situations may occur. Some three-month-old babies always shake their heads when they sleep. Some parents are very anxious when they see this phenomenon, worrying that their children may have some problems.

The following are the common reasons why babies may not sleep well:

(1) Normal situation: If the baby jumps and jumps while asleep but is sure not to wake up, and the baby's growth and development are normal, then this is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. This is because the baby's central nervous system is highly excitable, the cerebral cortex is not fully developed, and the sleep is shallow.

(2) Calcium deficiency: Babies often suffer from baldness on the back of their heads, excessive sweating, and irritability. You can go to the hospital for a blood calcium test to confirm the diagnosis, or you can take regular calcium supplements to prevent rickets. If it is confirmed that the baby's condition is really caused by calcium deficiency, then calcium supplementation is necessary.

(3) Irregular lifestyle: such as eating too much before going to bed or playing too excitedly during the day.

After that, you can observe the external environment such as whether the baby sleeps longer during the day, whether the sleeping environment is quiet at night, whether the light is soft, etc. It is necessary to adjust the baby's usual schedule appropriately so that the baby will sleep better at night.

In this age group, vitamin D deficiency is often considered to be related to low calcium and high excitability. Shaking your head back and forth is also one of the causes of baldness on the back of your head. At the same time, some children may cry, have trouble sleeping, and some may suffer from excessive sweating, etc. Recommendation: 1. It is recommended to appropriately supplement calcium and vitamin D preparations, such as calcium lactate, calcium carbonate and other calcium preparations, vitamin D or icosin to promote calcium absorption.

2. Children should be exposed to more sun and complementary foods should be gradually added after 4 months. I wish your baby grows up healthily!

If your baby frequently shakes his head, it is recommended to check his neck first to see if there is any itchy thing like prickly heat behind his neck. If there is nothing, but the baby still shakes his head, it should be caused by calcium deficiency. You need to supplement your baby with calcium.
