Infant’s head always tilting back may be related to growth and development, calcium deficiency and brain injury.
1. Growth and development: Infants are small in age, their neck muscles are not mature enough, and their supporting capacity is relatively small, so they cannot support the weight of their heads, thus causing their heads to keep tilting back.
2. Calcium deficiency: If infants are deficient in calcium, it will cause insufficient bone support, which will also cause infants to tilt their heads backward all the time.
3. Brain injury: If the baby’s head is always tilted back, it is considered to be caused by hypertonia, which is usually caused by brain injury and disease.
There may also be other reasons why the baby’s head keeps tilting back, so it is recommended that the baby be taken to the hospital in time for a complete examination to determine the cause of the problem, and then be given targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
