What Does Shaking Of Head From Left To Right Indicate?
Hi, My 6 months old baby started to shake his head very fast, as if he is saying no, First time I noticed was last night when I was trying to getting to sleep (so he was laying on his back). It just happen again 2 hours ago when again he was laying on his back but not trying to get him to sleep and 15 mins before falling asleep. He moves his head left to right about 6 times then stops for a couple of seconds and starts again. He did that today maybe 4-6 times. He did stop moving when I put my hand on his head but when i take my hand off he starts again. Could this be a sign of seizure?

Hi..
by what you say I do not think this is a seizure. The fact that he's stopping it once you put your hand, signifies that.
I feel that it is more likely to be a self satiating behaviour, rather than a seizure.
