My baby boy is 1year old. he was born premature. since the age of about 6months he began to shake his head from side to side whenever we play with him. is this head shaking normal or should we consult a doctor. we are concerned about this as he is doing it quite often nowadays.

A. this may be a part of normal behaviour in the child but sometimes you will have to rule out any other problem in the child so better to meet your doctor for examination and also take a video
