Shaking his head often
My son is 8 months old and shakes his head often while staring at some thing. We have been observing this since 2 ~ 3 months. He is very active and no other problems are observed so far. Please let us know whether this is normal or not.

Hi...  Your description of the childs movements seems to suggest a normal phenomena. Dont think you need to worry too much about it at present.

It is a normal phenomenon and will subside once the child starts sitting without support for a longer time.
