Question: Hello doc my 9th month old son used to shiver or shakes his head from few months i dnt knw the correct word but shakes his head..wen he have to pee or poo...is there any problem with him or its jus normal..m really worried
Brief Answer:
Sometimes kids do it as a habit - don't worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi....I understand your concern. But it is quite common for kids of this age to do these sort of things as a habit. So do not worry about it.
Sometimes they may resort to head banging on pillows and other soft objects also. Nothing to worry about it.
But as he's doing it while passing urine and motion, make sure he's not constipated.
