Reasons and solutions for babies shaking their heads

How much do you know about babies shaking their heads? I hope you can really understand this. It is very important. I want to introduce some situations about babies shaking their heads. You must know more about it. This is the best for our children. It may not be so obvious to you, but we must learn to observe. This is very important. So I want to introduce some specific situations about babies shaking their heads!

1. Head shaking caused by calcium deficiency

Diagnosis: The baby's shaking head is most likely caused by calcium deficiency. In the early stages of calcium deficiency in infants and young children, symptoms may include irritability, sweating, fatigue, restless sleep, night terrors, and crying at night. Physical signs may include skull softening, square head, delayed teething, late closure of fontanelle, occipital baldness, pigeon chest, bracelets, lower limb deformities, "O"-shaped legs or "X"-shaped legs, etc. If careful parents find that their baby has early symptoms such as night terrors and crying at night, they should give calcium supplementation treatment as soon as possible.

Tips for calcium supplementation:

1. Breast milk is still the best source of calcium and is the easiest to absorb, followed by formula milk.

2. When supplementing calcium, you must supplement VD at the same time to promote the absorption and utilization of calcium in the intestines. The ideal way to supplement calcium is to take VD and calcium supplements separately.

3. Calcium supplements should not be mixed with milk. Because when calcium powder is mixed with milk, the milk will clump into small lumps, affecting absorption. Calcium and cod liver oil should be taken half an hour after feeding.

4. When there is plenty of sunshine, you can take your baby out to bask in the sun more often. This is the safest way of supplementation and will not cause VD poisoning.

Beware of eczema

2. It is related to eczema.

Diagnosis: If the baby's brain development is normal but he still shakes his head frequently and cries during sleep, this may be caused by a skin disease. Eczema is also one of the reasons why babies shake their heads. Eczema is a skin disease caused by an allergic reaction. Babies who mainly feed on dairy products often have allergic reactions to foreign proteins and may suffer from eczema. If you have eczema, you will have symptoms such as skin desquamation, flushing, blisters, erosion, and scabs, which may affect the inside of the ear canal, the outer ear, and the skin behind the ear. If the above situation occurs, you should take your baby to a specialist hospital for treatment with local medication.

Tips for preventing eczema:

1. Keep your baby's hands clean and cut his nails frequently.

2. Babies often scratch the skin in the eczema area with their hands, which can cause bacterial infection of the skin. Therefore, if your baby has eczema, be careful not to scratch it with your hands to avoid infection.

3. Do not use soap or hot water to wash the affected skin. Soap and hot water will strip the oils from your skin's surface, making it drier.

4. You can put loose clothes on your baby. It is best to choose cotton clothes to avoid friction that aggravates eczema.
