Re: Jaw / Breathing / Head Shaking

[Guest guest]

Hi There

Lucia (who is 11 months) shakes her head from side to side when she

has earache or is coming down with something. She also bothers her

ears a lot then.

She also shakes her head all the time to indicate 'no'- everything

in the whole world is met with a shake of the head (food she doesn't

like, if a toy is taken away, if I have to move her, if she

remembers she shouldn't touch something, just saying no for the fun

of it which she does ALOT)- I know it sounds silly, but she is

probably just exploring her body and has perhaps seen you shake your

head and so is imitating it. If you don't think that's the case,

then I would guess an ear infection.

Can't help with the jaw clicking at all I'm afraid!
