Babies: 3 - 6 Months

5 month old shakes head as if having the chills, Normal?

I noticed over the past couple months that my 5 month old son will shake his head like he just got a chill or something. It kind of scares me im not sure if this is normal or not. Scared it could be something serious... has anyone else noticed their LO doing this??

  • No but if you're concerned, calling your pedi for a consult asap would be the best route.

  • JJ will do this sometimes. I know I do it when I have to go to pee, maybe he's doing the same thing Huh? He also does the same motion when I give him baby tylenol. I think it's normal. However, if you notice him doing it a lot, just call the pedi to be sure. It never hurts to ask questions.

  • Yes! Every now and then DS will do that. Seems normal to me.

  • DD does that, and I've always thought it was normal.

    Ds #1 did that a lot whenever he peed.  I haven't noticed ds #2 do it yet though.  If it seems like it's more than that, I'd call the pedi just for some reassurance.
