A. It is hard to say but it is unlikely that it is due to teething. to be more sure make of video when your child is doing the movements and then visit a pediatrician and show the video as well as let the doctor check your baby clinically.

A. Infant torticollis (tor-ti-col-lis) is easily diagnosable by tightened muscles on one side of the neck, which leaves your baby's head at a tilt or rotation. Torticollis in infants is common —some studies report that it affects 3 in every 100 babies. Fortunately, in most cases infant torticollis is easily treatable.
