Head Shaking
Is anyone’s 5 month shaking their head vigorously left and right? Mine started a couple of weeks ago but I thought it was only while sleeping but now he does it when he is not sleepy or about to go to sleep or even when we’re holding him.
Worried if this is normal?

My 5 month old also does this. I’ve read that it is normal for their age x
I read it’s a sign of teething
“If your baby's teething pain crosses over to their ear canal, you may find them tugging at their ears too, or shaking their head from side to side as if they are gesturing no no no.”
Is he doing it when drinking his milk and then the head shakes?
@Laura this makes perfect sense. My little boy has been doing this and he is currently teething

My previous baby, which is now 7 years old, used to do this around 4/5 months old. At the time, I thought that she may have autism or that's something was wrong. She soon grew out of it before 1, and apparently, it was just her self soothing. I'm sure Bubba is fine, but maybe check in with docs just to reassure yourself xx
