What’s going on?

Question

My 8 month baby started doing this thing where she shakes her head side to side, like saying no, fast. She first started doing it when she was getting sleepy but now I’m noticing it throughout the day as well?
Feeling a bit nervous about this behavior.

Answer

Don't worry, at this age any new thing they discover they can do is exciting to do over and over again

Answer

My daughter does it all the time too. I think us laughing encourages it.

Answer

My little girl started this a little bit ago, at first I was worried that she had an ear infection or something, but it’s just a new trick.
She has great timing though, we’ll say like “do you want to go see grandma” and she’ll shake her head no 😂 “do you want green beans?”

Answer

I just noticed my daughter doing that about a week now

Answer

My 8months old son does this when he wants to say no, or just because it’ll make everyone laugh

Answer

My daughter does this and whenever I say no she shakes her head. Her ears were checked and no infections or anything. She also did it when she was tired or trying to sleep/soothe herself.

Answer

My son does this too. It’s a new thing, feels funny, and all sensory learning

Answer

My daughter does it when she is tired, excited, or bored. She passed all her test and doesnt have any ear infections. She's just being silly. The rythm and dizziness are fun/soothing

Answer

My son does it when he is sleep and wants to stay awake as well. He also does it if we are all laughing. I wonder if it is equivalent to him spinning like if it makes him dizzy and that makes it funnier for him.

Answer

My daughter does this too. She has been doing it on and off for months
