Hi Sir Thanks for seeking help here. It's very normal phenomenon....turning head towards sound and looking toward sound source... Read this... Newborns can localize sound accurately to their right and left sides. Eye movement or a slow head turn in the direction of the sound source can be observed if your newborn is awake, alert and quiet. Between 1 month and 4 months of age, your baby may not exhibit the same type of head-turning or orienting behavior. However, at fi ve months, babies begin to seek the sound source. At about this age, the head turn changes from a reflexive activity (in the newborn) to a purposeful response. So don't panic.
