Hi all, my wee boy has started to shake his head from side to side... He only just started doing it today and I'm hoping it's nothing to worry about, he's been a little unsettled today, I think he's in another sleep regression and is now shaking his head from side to side in his sleep 😬

Yes, my boy does that too. I read that it's a self soothing technique. He usually does it just as he's about to fall asleep.
thank you! Yes he just woke himself and started doing it and is now fast asleep, it just became quite alarming, I'm glad it's normal 🥲 x

Yes, my baby does it too. He used to do it a lot when he was younger. He does it when he is tired and falling asleep. But also he has eczema on his neck, so when it flares up he seem to do it a lot more.

My baby does this and also slams his legs quite hard in his cot. Its a self soothing technique x
